RE: First Manchester
The first of the new Enviros have turned up at Bolton depot. Can see around four park up around the back still with London branding. Although one did have 37 on the route number at the back.

Reason for the query is that I was speaking to someone from Oldham Depot this morning and they muted of newer Solos (newer to what Oldham have got) coming up from another subsidy somewhere to replace the current Solos on 410/411s with the older Solos dropping onto 415s and also allegedly most if not all of Oldhams Darts are due to be withdrawn by the end of the month, personally I believe things when they start to happen.

As for B9 on 350s I wonder whether this was being driven by an Oldham Driver as I know before when Pionner have been short of drivers they've always asked Oldham to cover usually with an Oldham vehicle

37373 is a Bolton bus and the buses from the games are back now so all loans to Oldham had finished

Just what I was going to say, 37373 is a Bolton Bus

RE: First Manchester
37379 still in Oldham, as it was on the 83 this afternoon. 37561 back in service from the Olympics also on 83. 66871 has been re-painted into new livery and that was on the 83 too.

Away from the 83, spotted 37427 (formerly a 37-branded B9) running on the 18 today, 37293 in the new livery on the X35 and 31928 on the 32.

Ive noticed a couple more solos such as the odd one on the 408 and the odd 2 on the 415, probably seems as a few darts have seen off service already as what i can see.

66873 IS Being done, or has already been done :-) all these B9 Allocations will settle down, shortly id think and 37379 and 37373 will head home, before they decide where to send them. Espically now as the first Enviro 400s have arrived at BN
