Interesting was on that as an 8 yesterday, I find it remarkable, Oldham have this. Knicked another bus off Bolton. Bolton are already down on numbers enviro wise. And the B9s 12 plates were there to fill the gap as we know. I'd love to know what makes Oldham so special.

Maybe they are testing/comparing against the Enviros on this route now. Bolton as far as I can see only have two Enviros is service as yet (33657/73) and always seem to be on the 8. I don't think anything is certain until all the Envrios are in service which I would have thought should be sooner rather than later. Aren't the Enviros parked up at WN the BN ones?

Yes that's true, they are all reported at Wigan Depot. I was just surprised as 36279/80 were allocated to Bolton to help fill the gap, on the fact that some Enviros as we know are in the south west. So it just seems odd, to remove them. But as you say maybe its testing against the Enviros on the 184. The only thing that is certain is that Oldham at least in the short term will end up with more in service Enviro's. Even more important now that Oldham are shipping out all of there B9s
