RE: First Manchester
60067 was a Bury bus until very recently always breaking sown as I remember, no more than a couple o months ago. I remember S106TNB brand new at BN fleet number was 106 back then

101-15 were actually new to OM but moved to BN when they concentrated on L94s and Citaros at OM.

Another scrappy is 60172 as well was on a 507 before.

Also, 31930 is back at BN from WN.

183 - Hourly, but extended to the hospital.

533 - I believe it was meant to have been kept on, but don't know who is running it.

First Man were still running the 533 earlier today

James do you know of a 4th citaro, as Bury gained 4 B7s from OM and Bury only has buses it can store much like pioneer its a small garage.

Either First are continuing to run it or they're running it on behalf of TfGM. Probably the latter and we'll find out when the timetable is published.
