RE: First Manchester
Hi

Unless I'm very much mistaken I travelled on 60252 on Saturday working for Bury on the 468, so that can be added to the active list. Also, 60267 was active there just before Christmas (may still be?).

Hope this helps

Jeff

Correct, when I was in Bury on Saturday I saw Citaros 60233, 60252, 60253 & 64029.

RE: First Manchester
64029 is the best out the bunch really as it's had a refurb. Their alright buses buy bloody noisy as even the tiniest bump makes em rattle like crazy.

Most of it caused by the ceiling panels shaking about, what routes are they based on out of bury now? Was the 92/93 & 98 bit they were pulled off a few months back.

RE: First Manchester
Virtually any services operated by Bury Depot should see Citaroes on them, but the main ones that get them regular are the following:

468 Jericho-Tottington
472/474 Bury-Ramsbottom Circulars (although seems to be getting deckers regular now as well)
511 Bury-Bolton

It really is just pot luck what other services get them daily

Deckers are a definite regular on the 472/474 now almost constantly some weeks.
