Looks like there is some truth in the vehicle transfers, as spotted a Enviro400 with the Quids In branding operating on the 181 into Manchester this afternoon. Also a Enviro400 on the 24, so may be possible that they're allocating those Enviro400s on the 24, 181 and 182 routes along, possibly with the some of the vehicles previously operating on the 184/X80, which will have seen a reduction of PVRs.
Also, appears that the the short workings on the 81 between Moston and Manchester are being shared between Oldham and Queens Road, as there was a B5 operating on the route this morning and a Enviro300 this afternoon.
RE: First Manchester - T42 PVM - 21/07/2015 00:31
Apparently the final B6 40437 T701 PND was Withdrawn after Service on Saturday even tho it had just get re-taxed until 1st July 2016 and had WI-FI Installed only last week!
EDIT: Am now being told from the same Person he has bought it for Preservation!
RE: First Manchester - M60lad - 21/07/2015 05:50
I had a feeling and mentioned this to various friends of mine that the only reason why it was still in service was that someone had probably secured it for preservation when it finally did get withdrawn.
Also had to do a double take yesterday afternoon while on 14:45 97 from Bury-Manchester as noted goinng through Unsworth on 94 was Solo 40331 which is obviously one of the ones that's replaced hybrids on the route

It seems as though a load of bendy's have disappeared, I have only seen 12011/13/18 and 10017 this week but spotted several new arrivals in the form of 37439/441/447 and a few others. 69166 has unusually been on south side routes (92/93/95/97) and 468 rather than the usual 472/4 which has been 80-90% Citaro's all week.

Interesting allocations from Oldham depot today with two B7TLs (30960/2) operating on the 180/184, a Streetlite on one of the afternoon X84 journeys and a Citaro on the 81 short working to Moston.
RE: First Manchester - WhiteVanMan - 24/07/2015 21:45
Just been checking the TfGM website, regarding the Leigh Guided Busway.
"Most of the construction work on the busway is now expected to be completed before the end of the year, with services to passengers starting early in 2016 following a period of testing and commissioning."
It had previously stated that it was due to open in October. So with this delay, does it mean the delivery of the new Volvo B5LH / Wright buses are also delayed?
RE: First Manchester - SLTRegular - 24/07/2015 21:48
35102 was on one of the scruffy routes in Town today forget which but expect etched windows.... might have been the 88
RE: First Manchester - citario - 24/07/2015 23:06
There seems to be a few odd allocations going on at the moment are first experimenting during the summer months when kids are off school.
