I've seen Citaro's parked up in Bury Layover twice with 184-Huddersfield stuck on the destination, and I've heard it noted on many buses over in Bolton/Bury. Might be a driver playing tricks on everyone!

Was that swapped over with 66889?

31923 is another bus which is a right heap of crap, kick-down doesn't seem to work on it as the drivers I've had it on it which usually floor Arrows didn't seem to be able to get it to do anything. Very slow up the 540 hills going in the Bolton to Wigan direction as a result!

Earlier today it was reported that 37422 was repainted last week, well at 10.05pm 37421 in new livery passed me standing near Bolton Job Centre on 501s

RE: First Manchester - P528LND - 18/07/2012 12:33
Just noticed a little kink in the 64 route:
http://www.tfgm.com/upload/routemaps/64_164_165_12-0208.pdf
At Coldhurst, where it's supposed to do a different route inbound to Oldham, it's still going via Crompton Street and Coldhurst Street, and no 64 I have been on board has done this alternative that TfGM seem to advertise. Also, from what I remember, there are no bus stops anywhere on Godson Street, and the 64 is listed on bus stops Oldham bound via the route I have described, and not what is on the map. Anyone know what's going on here? I know it's a tiny glitch but I'm interested nonetheless!

RE: First Manchester - WWH44L - 18/07/2012 18:05
37410 is yet another BN repaint as is 37397. Now my list is at work so the latter may have been reported but off the top of my head I don't recall it has. About half way through now.
Also, there is a Dart in the top car park now at BN next to the withdrawn Arrows. Way to far away to identify. Two of the Vexhiel school buses have been parked up in the bottom "scrap corner" presumably for the school holidays.
