Noticed B9's allocated to the 38/39 so far this week with a Marshall on the 393.
I notice that the Arrow's are still hanging on though, any idea when these will go?

the marshalls have now cover 346/389/331/333, 346/393 38/39`s from what ive seeen myself since my last post how long til they get on 41`s??? place your bets now please yet again 2 hybrids are off to blackburn atm

Before the Hybrids arrived darts were quite common in the 41 (when Stotts did the weekday 41s), but the allocater seems a lot stricter these days and it seems to be strictly Solo's.

As for the Hybrids, they seem to spend more time off the road than they do on, I'm thinking their still under warranty otherwise it would be costing TFGM a pretty penny!

all tfgm hybrids inc wigan and stagecoach are not allowed to be serviced by our own company staff , even if a headlight is out it has to go to optare at blackburn its rediculous thats why you are seeing a lot of normal buses on 41`s the priority list is sk routes,419 then 41 for hybrids. in regards to mayneway about losing the sk tenders they would forfit 328/205 tenders also as the are green bus spec. but ive not heard anything when i spoke to my uncle the other day
