In all honesty Liam, no your right, it would be stupid and mis informed of me to be that black and white, in deffinate light of what happened with the enviros

Ive gone with the obvious of listing them all, yes but then again, it is most likely they will mix em up, as thats what First do.

Very unlikely as Bury Just isn't that important, although in terms of town and infrustructure IE busy vibrant town Bury runs rings around Bolton, Bolton is run down and dead, but for some reason, has key routes 36,37, 582,8 etc and makes more money for first manchester than Bury, so the story goes. Gutted as I am to say, I love Bury the town, but its only real main routes are the 471 135 etc, not enough of a reason for new 12 plate enviros. Still I am a lover of the B9s and the influx from Bolton and Oldham Depots of displaced B9s. For the future you never know somewhere down the line an enviro may show up at Bury.

A number of Darts have been parked up in the top car park, these are in addition to the Ashton ones that turned up the other week so I'm presuming they are some of Bolton's.

33657/700 are two more 36/37 route branded Enviros.

60184 is a decent bus, 60185 obviously having the standard mot before service

Not many left at Bury today as i saw, still the 524s and 98s have had an upgrade those being run by B9s and B7s

Any chance of ID? Or length? Destination equipment?

Sorry, all I could tell was that it had a rear ad and flip dots. It was on Piccadilly Station Approach whilst I was passing on the bus.
