Is it drivers wishing to transfer depots?
Or is it because the Rusholme depot is expected to greatly increase in size?
Or does it mean buses transferring to Rusholme needing additional drivers?

Some drivers I believe may wish to transfer, but Rusholme is using loaned drivers from Bury and I think also from Bolton.

They do need additional drivers due to the 42 expansion, even though Rusholme as a depot is fairly limited by its overall size, it's a fair statement to say, that first must have significant plans going forward, due to the huge investment and ongoing investment in the buses.

And yes the 41s are at manchester at the moment due to the bringing in of other drivers involved in training days and route learning etc.
