Also 63105 was used on former Finglands School Service 147 this afternoon picking up kids from one of the Grammar Schools just off Wilmslow Road

someone's theory on another site suggested was the deckers were for schools and the Streetlites were for normal services so given that 30965 was used on the 99 blows that theory out of the water.

Its also been mentioned elsewhere that changeovers outside Rusholme depot today were taking up too 12 minutes, with drivers apparently struggling with the ticket machines. Quite surprising as ive always found First changeovers a lot quicker than Stagecoach's but I suppose its to be expected in the first few days.
