RE: First Manchester
On further examination on flickr 37425 at a different angle shows that citaro, more close up and its one of the damaged ones because it has its headlights missing and tape round the windows as though its being touched up

RE: First Manchester
Noted QS Hybrid 49118 seems to be on a long loan to Bury to cover for the troublesome solos 59012/13 this time its the turn of 59012 to break down, must be as I ve only seen 59013 and 49118 doing the 154 of late

RE: First Manchester
Id love to know the logic of first in re numbering and routing several bus services from Bury through salford to Manchester. I myself am orignally from Salford, and when I lived down there nobody ever caught the bus :-)

RE: First Manchester
The Citaro, in the 37425 picture is 60256 at Oldham Depot from Bury, as it was involved in A front end road traffic Accident, so its being repaired at Oldham Depot

Don't know. Can only see from the road. There is a Dart in the top scrap car park but that was there before 40381 had it's accident. Think that may be 40362.

Btw - is school bus 68226 at BN or still at QS? I know BN had three of these 68225/7/9 but I saw four at the depot yesterday, three in the bottom corner (with two school Versas) but there was another Vexheil one in the depot yard.
