As for 40371 this came in as a 455 in time to do 10:45 455 to Littleborough but must have had a fault as it was driven by the driver onto one of the layover bays in Rochdale Bus Station where one of the engineering staff from Oldham Depot was attending to whatever the fault was, odd but not rare seeing a Dart on 455 as this most of the Rochdale local routes apart from 6 Kirkholt are actually booked Solo turns as is 12 Middleton Circular but that seems to regularly have a Dart on it these days

Thanks...I should imagine we will return to Middleton again soon, Darts the #415, the #12 plus some interesting JPT buses on local routes, fast food shack opposite the bus station what more could you want!

Seems like a great place to bus bash out of.
