Did see a Enviro400 operate on the 350 in the evening. Oldham depot did shuffle some buses around yesterday, as there were a couple of B9TLs on the 184/X80, a Enviro400 on the 24, a B7TL on the 409 and a Streetlite on the 81A. |

RE: First Manchester
Is anyone able to explain which journeys are done by OM and which are done by Dukinfield? I was told that OM were doing all 350's to Oldham and Heyfarm with Dukinfield just doing the Micklehurst shorts but given that 40403 was spotted on 350's to hey farm, and me spotting a Pioneer Streetlight/driver on one too during Friday it's a little confusing lol. Also do we know which vehicles have moved to Oldham? And is this temporary or permanent? |

RE: First Manchester
Interesting allocation yesterday (4 November) as B6BLE 40439 was on the 18. Bit of a contrast to the B5Hs or B9TLs normally on the route. |

Found this photo on Flickr of a B5TL numbered 36300 operating on the 83 today. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ps_bus_driver/15097242574 |

Was waiting for the 184 this afternoon in Manchester and spotted it this arriving in the 83 ready to go out to Sholver. Decided to travel out on Manchester on that vehicle instead and was quite nice to ride on. Hopefully First will look to invest in some of these vehicles. Been reported that First are bringing in a Wright Streetdeck too. Meanwhile, good news for anyone travelling through Newton Heath on the 23, 24, 83, 180, 181, 182, 184, X80 or X84, as the roadworks at the Oldham Road/Droylsden Road junction has finished. |

RE: First Manchester
Regarding the Newton Heath roadworks, all the roadworks were finished for about 10:30 yesterday morning as I went through down to Manchester and it was clear with no delays whatsoever, although I think they had only just finished as the vans were still there and the guys were still packing up. To make the above on thread I was traveling down on 36300 on 83 to Manchester |

RE: First Manchester
Does anyone know what caused all the delays around Bury on Wednesday? According to what my mate has said, 40437 is currently parked outside at Bury depot. |
