It is a lot nicer than the W reg citaro's, I got it on the 472 today.
Are bury getting any Enviro400's?

Thanks,

It is a lot nicer than the W Reg citaro's its a lot newer than the Wreg's with it being 02 plate. I had it myself on the 510 the other day.

Sadly the Enviro's are allocated at Bolton and Oldham due to them supposedly being First's jewels. Bury are getting displaced Volvo B9S From Bolton and Oldham Depot's. Myself though, i prefer the B9s to the Enviro's. Considering Bury is only a small Depot and has only two key routes being 471s and 135S compared to Bolton's 36,37,582,8 putting it bottam of priority. First's Bolton operation makes its money on these routes outside of Bolton. Bolton itself. Well its run down and recession hit. Bury is a more vibrant town, and a more pleasant place to be. Shame its bus infrustructure puts it second place. Still 58 09 plate B9s is a result for Bury

Have you got the Reg fleet number etc

RE: First Manchester
I can't remember the registration, I don't think it had a fleet number on it, it was completley painted white and was commonly used on the 474.

RE: First Manchester
Not sure how up to date the list on here is as I saw 37396 on a 524 in Bolton yesterday even though it's down as a BY transfer. Also, on the original list posted on the Yahoo group, all the B9s coming into Bury are from Bolton not Oldham. Infact all the B9s at BN are being split between Bury 31 and QS 22.

This could have all changed but i would put anything down in concrete until all the Enviros are in service.
