Just caught the end of an advert on Tower FM about the Bolton Depot open day, think they said 6th July, anyone confirm?


RE: First Manchester - 37554BY - 25/06/2014 23:44

Bury Depot have loaned 66905 from Bolton , there are obviously significant issues within the fleet at Bury to warrant all the loan Buses

Just seen a lovely First training vehicle in Wigan town centre, quite a pleasant sight.

They've picked a bad day with other local events (ELR diesel gala).

I've seen 37292 out, with by the sounds of it a new engine, it sounds more like the newer B9TL's with a slightly quieter and more steady sounding engine.


RE: First Manchester - wirralbus - 26/06/2014 22:07

You will be pleasantly surprised how many people will come out to events in Greater Manchester and Lancashire knowing that the enemy over the hills is going to be overrun with people spectating on a two wheel event that will be past them in less than a minute in some locations.

Good to here it's out, it's been sat in Bury Depot since March, mind you they are that short of buses it doesn't surprise me they have got it ready and out

Strange............66833 was operating a 42 through Didsbury at 0730 this morning, Manchester bound. I've never seen a First B7RLE further South than working the 53 on Dickenson Road.


RE: First Manchester - stait.john@hotmail.co.uk - 27/06/2014 19:12

66833 is on loan from QS while Streetlite 63110 is performing VF duties at QS. A number of Streetlites from 63096-63118 batch will transfer to QS upon arrival of the Enviro400s after Games duties.
