RE: First Manchester
What was wrong with putting Holts Estate via Oldham and Waterhead? Get the feeling there may be some confusion for some passengers, particularly as they put Waterhead on the side too. I understood why they did it for the 58 when it ran to Bury (Oldham then Bury via Middleton/Oldham then Rochdale), to help passenger not confuse it with the more direct 469/471 services between Rochdale and Bury.

One of the ex-Tameside darts (may have been 40365) was on the X84 this afternoon. Luckily, it was able to display Carrcote but not the 'X' in X84 on the front display (sometimes 84 is displayed instead of X84 on the back). A couple of the 58/59 branded B9s were on the 83 and Citaros were on the 149.
