I doubt that.

31948 was on the 425 yesterday. I've noticed there are increasingly less Dennis Dart SLFs out every day in Oldham...

Well Liam,

It doesn't really matter if you doubt it or not. My information is from a reliable source at First Manchester. Ok some of the B9s now have branding for the 471, more B9s are expected from OM. The effectivness of the bendis In Manchester is being looked at due to the traffic hold ups, impacting the 135 timetable.Now the idea of branding some Bendi's for 471 was only something that was being talked about by management at Bury.Its a small depot, and they have to use the vehicles to the most effective. Anyway its all academic for the moment, and if it doesn't happen, management will have worked it out. To keep em where they are. Time will tell.
