RE: First Manchester
I wish some confirmation would occur over 31943 there are postings on the gmbuses group suggesting Ashton arrow is now at OM, when it's on loan to Bolton. Also the Rotheram Darts are suggested to have replaced the SBA darts. Any confirmation would be good?

RE: First Manchester
Coverage in the Oldham Chronicle about First re-painting some of their vehicles into old liveries. They also say that all eight buses (Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Manchester, Bury, Ramsbottom, Bolton, Lancashire United) will be at a heritage event at the Museum of Transport on Sunday 20 October.

RE: First Manchester
I'm curious when First or if First get the go ahead over the Finglands take over? Is it going to be run on the basis of First Pioneer as a low cost unit. I don't claim to know to much about the business of Finglands.

Makes me think a lot about the business plan of First in Manchester going forward. Bury depot still has a very unsettled future despite initial plans being blocked.
