that then became 14 then 17 because qs were taking over the 41 so needed extra buses so wanted the b9s back and om wanted to get some more newer buses to disp the old solos ,
now they want 5 solos from us for 415s as "the 54 plate are ideal for the low bridge at chadderton"
which basically takes the mic out of what the ex coo jerome weiner (or whatever he was called) said was going to happen when the b9s were introduced
as were now back to x reg sheds 54plate solos couple of deckers and a load of 14 plate streetlites which diplaced the decent buses we already had.
all in all blame the clever ****s at om

Its hard to say whether its a good or bad thing, Pioneer has a nice batch of decent brand new vehicles but in the process is loosing some of their slightly older decent stock, some would say its robbing peter to pay paul

Ive noticed a few B9's still lurking about in Ashton, they mainly pop up on 348's and 350's and the evening 231 is always a B9 but how many are actually still at Dukinfield and are these staying or going?

I also noticed yesterday that the Arrow is still alive and kicking despite reports it had been scraped.
