I believe routes 41 and 42 (ex-Finglands) are offering £1 single fares down Oxford Rd and Wilmslow Rd.

Yes, £1 single fares valid on services 18, 41, 42 and 157 in the south of Manchester until 30 June 2014.

Valid on the 18 between Shudehill and MRI, service 41 between Piccadilly and West Didsbury and services 42 and 157 between Piccadilly and East Didsbury.

Apparently the 11 new Streetlites (63146-63156), that are currently parked-up at Bolton, are for use on the improved service 42 at Rusholme. Also there are 27 ADL/Enviro400 due in the summer.

Noted parked up at the back of Oldham Depot yesterday was a MPD formerly of Finglands still in Finglands livery, not to sure which one it is or what its doing at Oldham Depot and I doubt that Oldham would be keeping it although we could do with it to replace one or more of the current Solo/Dart fleet

It will be 1603 which was involved in a RTA just before the changeover (8th March). It's been suggested that due to its damage EYMS don't want it back unless First are going to repair it and then send it on, but I very much doubt it will gain First colours and see service in Manchester.
