Same should apply after next week when the service is extended to Droylsden. Thank you, this explains the involvement of both garages.

I don't know exact numbers, but their current routes for 63000 series ones are 41 Manchester - Rusholme - Sale 42 Manchester - Rusholme - East Didsbury (but will also serve North Manchester Hospital from April 27th) I believe small versions ie 47000s are being introduced on 348 Ashton - Carrbrook 350 Ashton - Hey Farm (but I doubt the through journeys to Oldham) |

RE: First Manchester
Now considering yesterday was Sunday Service I was quite surprised to get to Ashton and find Marshall Darts and the odd Plaxton Dart in service yesterday, the Plaxton was out on 389s which I found odd as usually on Sunday's 389 is usually operated with Hybrids and I would have thought that more of the Streelites would have been out |
