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.

This is all changed for one 3 B9s from Om in at Bury so far, plus 37396 is reported at QS, also, 14 scania's have left Hints that all the citaro's will be removed from Bury, not just 20. Plus B9s 07 plates on the move to Ashton (Pioneer). Queens Road's allocation of 22, seems to be made up of 90% ex oldham pioneer, with a few of Bolton's thrown in.

Also 37550/6 consistently linked with Bury, as are 37545/9

Bury is going to be loosing more buses than orignally planned, but in turn gaining extra B9s.

The orignal yahoo list although correct at the time is out of date as Ashton should have only ended up with 17 B9s, they have over 20 there now.

Our mutual contact at Om told me Bury's B9s will be made up of Om and Bn dispalced vehicles

The ones I've seen so far include:
33657
33673
33677
33693
33695
33696
33697
33699
36700

Not of the 11 reg B7RLEs or the repainted 06 reg ones have been branded yet. You tend to see these on the 501 and 575 routes.

RE: First Manchester
Operating the 22 this evening, crossing Kingway, Stockport bound at 1938 was 33722. Then at the same time & place, Bolton bound was 69527. The newest vehicles I've ever seen on the 22. They generally operate 05 to 58 plates.

A little bit of symmetry too with the Enviro given that Stagecoach sometimes use Enviros on their 22s.

Yes, SF07 I have seen Stegecoach with their Enviro's on the 22 in the daytime when First aren't doing the route. But in the early to late evening it seems to be the ALX300's.
