RE: First Manchester
B9 37546 on hire to Pioneer as seen on the 348/350s, 41783 also has been a long term loan and now displays a loan sheet at the front dash.

Dart 42944 been absent for a week and 40312 apparently mentioned in the depot with the front display removed?

RE: First Manchester
Confirmation of the diversion in Ashton, which starts next Saturday (1 March) and will be in place (according to First) until 18 April 2014, when phase 2 starts, which sees closure of Oldham Road in both directions. Diversions will be announced closer to the time

Phase 1 diversions:
*Service 41 will not serve Crowhill, which will be served by a re-routed 419. 41 will continue to run between Ashton and Dukinfield
*168 Sunday service will divert from Newmarket Road via Taunton Road, Knowle Avenue, Richmond Street, Ashton Moss and Wellington Road to Ashton Bus Station. Buses from Ashton remain as normal
*409 will divert from Oldham Road via Wilshaw Lane, Wood Lane, Henrietta Street, Albion Way and Wellington Road to Ashton Bus Station. Buses from Ashton remain as normal
*419 will divert from Oldham Road via Taunton Road then as service 41 route to Ashton. Buses from Middleton will run reverse of diversion.

RE: First Manchester

Grow up James LOL

As I've already stated. The original post on the 'STAGECOACH MANCHESTER' thread asked what the diversion was while the bridge was closed so I replied on the 'STAGECOACH MANCHESTER' thread what I had been told and still believe to be the diversion up Wilshaw Lane and down Henrietta street into Ashton. Which according to SF07's post above is the diversion for the 409 and the Stagecoach 168/169's so what exactly is your point??

Will be interesting to see how long it takes the 419 to go 'not in service' when its running round Crowhill but im sure you'll be on hand with your clipboard to keep things running smoothly.

Unless anyone knows different, I have not seen any streetlites nor any First vehicles on ex Finglands routes up to now. I passed along Wilmslow Road today and saw no First vehicles in the depot yard in Rusholme. (Long live Finglands.)
