37402/29 were out yesterday after their loan to OM

Well 37407 is repainted and so is 37395, along with 37304.The rest of your list is spot on, although 37419 looks pretty much debranded seen a lot in the last two days, could well be next up for new colours :-)

Ta for that. Was pretty sure I'd seen 37407 but not seen the other two yet. Think all the remaining 36/37s have been debranded, 37429 was seen stripped yesterday.

Thank you also :-) on the subject of 37407 Iam shall we say 95% certain on that.

Also do we know if Bolton are doing some of there own repaints or are Oldham doing them all :-) its a shame that whilst the B9s were at oldham they couldn't have repainted them, saves a job

Right, just seen 37395 and it's still the old livery! But seen 37406/7/30 all in the new livery.

Other ones seen in the old livery include 37429 on a 561 and 37419 over the pits in the depot.

Thanks for letting me know anyway, I always get them mixed up

its tricky

As I knew they had done

37394/6/7/8/9/400, but could have sworn Id seen 37395 obviously mixed it up with 37407 which has deffinately been done.

It has something to do with Oldham sending B9s to London for the olympics, Bolton loaned some B9s to Oldham, and Oldham loaned some B7s in exchange, although a couple of loaned B9s have already come back to Bolton, now the olympics are over, I shouldn't think it will be long before all Bolton B9s come back home, and Oldham get the B7s back. Before the fourthcoming allocation changes to do with new buses arriving at Oldham and Bolton Depots. :-)
