Spotted that bus at Oldham bus station this afternoon with a B9TL parked up behind both saying not in service. It looked like passengers were transferred from 33755 to the B9.
Other Enviros that I spotted on the 409 today were: 33703, 33738, 33744 and 33748. Some pics of 33748 and review of the Enviros on the 409 on Flickr/East of M60 blog:

Looks like the B9s that used to be on the 409 have branched out to other Oldham services as there were a B9 in the new livery on the 182 and 149 this afternoon.
Meanwhile, the B7RLEs branded for the 81/81A grows. Spotted 66835, 66865, 66867 and 66871 today.

Looks like those pics you took at Oldham bus station was at the same time I was there inside the bus station
Wonder why 33755 went out of service in Oldham.
RE: First Manchester - SL64 JFK - 30/08/2012 21:16
Those Enviro400s look stellar in the new First livery, and the branding suits them better than the Geminis what with the Enviro400s upper deck window being flat at the top, there's no wasted space on the branding like there is on the Geminis.

More pics on Flickr of the 409 Enviros, this time 33703, 33741 and 33748 (credit to photographer)

Well, that was announced last week, so that's been kicking its heals on the forums for a week or so, and Bury is loosing some of its scania's.

New Enviro 33680 is parked up at the side of the old Church that First use on Moor Lane. Seems odd when it could have been parked on the bus station opposite! It didn't have Greater Manchester branding as doesn't the other one parked up at the depot.
RE: First Manchester - FirstGroup - 31/08/2012 13:57
Not seen one 11 reg B7 on the 582 the last few days ....
Also a quick enquiry when getting a young persons system one travel card do they make it in the travel shop on the spot or do they have to send off for it ?
