RE: Rossendalebus
Rosso do seem to thrive on buses from other companies, often though not always Transdev. I rode a former Spot On Eclipse in February, and saw some former Arriva and Go-Ahead London Volvo B7TLs there too in addition to Metroline examples. |

These are nominally to replace 51 reg deckers (103-9) for use on TfGM school contracts from September, but not necessarily a straight swap as there may be some shuffling around. |

RE: Rossendalebus
Would there not be something a little more formal than a tweet from someone who works at Transdev?? |

RE: Rossendalebus
I reacon the Rochdale Rosso depot could be a very good move for CityZap given its closer proximity to Manchester and Ainsley Top. Less dead mileage. I can also see a few more express Manchester buses and a lot more competition for First. I know the size is different but the same principal. Look at what they keep doing to Connections.... I can see some big bus wars on the horizon. |

RE: Rossendalebus
Quite an acquisition with 103 vehicles according to their online fleetlist. The £3m investment will be more than welcome. Transdev are definitely making a secure footing in North Manchester. |

Are there any competition issues? All time rail mileage travelled 327264 miles |

RE: Rossendalebus
Rosso do compete with First on a handful of routes but if anything i would argue that Rosso are doing better than First For Blog Posts Containing all the latest in the local Bus Scene The 2002 Bus Blog Subscribe to my Youtube Channel, Updated regularly!
