(about) 7 Crusaders: 415
Pointer 2s: 24, Rochdale work
Solos: (evening) 415, Rochdale work, tenders excluding the 149
Citaros: 149, 425
B7RLEs: 81, 180, 184
B9TLs: 58, 59, 82, 83, 350 Oldham runs (unless arrangements are made for Pioneer to run these)
Olympians: School work
as far as I can see I've only missed out the 408. If anyone can give me a list of the numbers of each bus that are expected to remain at Oldham, that would help a lot indeed

Hello Liam,

Have you heard or seen anything more on the 16 citaros still to arrive at Oldham?

Latest news on overall allocations says nothing at OM will be finalised until after the para olympics.

But someone may know different, to whats already been posted

All I know is that a driver has said Citaro's, R###SBA's and more Enviro's are almost definitely destined for Oldham.

I've just figured that the number of Enviro's required for running both the 180/4 and 409 only adds up to 25-30 buses, meaning there'll be between 10-20 others either sat around doing nothing, or allocated to another route, which could either be 58/59 or the 83, so now I'm stuck again, aha!

In addition, SF07 has just listed down changes to services 81/A, 410/1, 350 and 415. All these services pass through the Waterhead and Greenacres areas, coincidence? Does anyone have any ideas what's going on? :P
