Bury is due at least 20 b9s co,ing from either OM or BN or a mixture of both as Bury is loosing a lot of buses that will all need replacing

Just a thought......
OM B9s to BY to release Citaros to OM and Scanias to BN which will replace Darts
BN B9s to QS to release B10Bs to WN to replace Excels and Darts.

I think your pretty much spot on with that, Oldham are expecting more Enviros at the weekend,making me thinks will this trigger the movements

Its 66846 now based at Bury and in the new livery

Thought it was 66846. Just wasn't 100% sure. Was less sure when finding a photo on Flickr dated three weeks ago of it on the 81 with 81/81A branding.

I saw it very briefly branded for the 81/81A,such a waste of time to brand and debrand, still its all part and parcel of the citaro transfers to OM

They certainly do have a track record, does First Manchester. Did a similar thing with some of the B9s on the 409 when they're were branded and de-branded in a matter of weeks.

The word 'logic' probably isn't in the First Manchester dictionary.

That's true, and so is wasting money not in the first Manchester dictionary

The b7 at wigan that was repainted into the new colors has been swapped with a b7 from Bolton and the main engineering bloke at wigan is moving to oldham! I reckon wigan is definitely going to be sold!
