It did seem weird that all MCT routes are under tender to TFGM and accepted System 1 but didn't accept wayfarer which is set up also by TFGM. I know the information isn't kept the best upto date either so I thought it best to ask and check. I didn't use them yesterday just incase and used an alternative operator.

It was posted on another forum that someone asked D&G for clarification on Wayfarer tickets as TfGM site says D&G accept them but no mention on D&G site and the official response was they don't accept them.

Well, drivers accepted them whether meant to or not. 1 130 and 2 88 drivers accepted the ticket.

I too have had d/g officially tell me they don’t accept, but it was a few years ago.

Wayfarer is run by system one so if they in system one they have to take wayfarer

KX07HFB is currently with MCT Travel, I saw it today on Altrincham Road, Sharston running service X5 to Stockport, a tender they recently picked up from Stagecoach. I belive the bus is from Dawsons Rentals and don't know if it's a loaner or a purchase for the new contracts they have gained in Greater Manchester.

MCT have won TfGM contracts to operate the 418 Oldham Circular and a 826 Saddleworth School service.

Think this is one contract rather than two. The school works off a 418.
I believe it will be operated by Rochdale depot as they are expecting another pair of 67 plate short Enviro200's - both for Rochdale.

Both of the 07 reg Enviros should be being collected by Dawson's this weekend and replaced with a pair of shorter 11 plate Envros which will eventually be stickered up with MCT logos etc. The 07 reg pair were deemed as unsuitable for most MCTs work because of their length.

That's a shame, I saw one almost full up on the 245 the other week!
