Is 47002 going back out on the road or just staying on shuttles as if its just on shuttles i wouldn't bother painting it.

I could kick myself for not saving all my old megariders now as these are bound to become colletables of the future now they have been phased out.

For some reason I never throw mine away. The 76 I just got on the driver was still giving out paper weekly's he had a loa of wallets in his cash tray still.

I would imagine it's a gradule thing rather than it strictly switching over on the 11th which clearly it hadn't done.

That's what I was thinking, they can't just get all the unissued wallets to another division because they have Manchester written on. When I buy a new one on Monday I'm hoping it's a card.

They will just take the paper ticket option off the machines
As they did that with us.
Week cards started they only then issued us with cards

I am pleased that Stagecoach and First have found a way of continuing this route 22 exchangeability. Mind you, issuing a paper receipt alongside the Smartcard will not reduce paper consumption much.
