Will 66906 and 69142 be staying as they have only recently moved to Bury?

I've had 60251 on the 472 this week, it is now in a lot healthier condition than it was last time I had a ride on it.

Only caught a quick glimpse of this after going past it, but spotted a 12xxx bendy bus on Oldham Road towards Manchester (possibly travelling from Oldham depot) near Central Park this morning, parked up at a bus stop out of service. Perhaps connected with the Enviro400 on the 135 last week.

RE: First Manchester
seen 32908 and 32912 in service on the 472 and 163 over the last few days. Was wondering if these vehicles have been transferred to bury and if it is a sign of things to come for bury. Also heard a couple of the B7TL's are heading down south from bury. Is there any truth behind that

I don't know what is happening at Bury, the best person to asked would of been 37554BY, but doesn't appear to be posting anymore. The next best person, should be DentonIan, if he has heard anything.

Yes, 30871-30880 are being transferred to Kernow, with 30871,30872,30874,30876,& 30879 having already been transferred.

I hope that Bury, are getting some replacement buses soon, with recently losing buses to Huddersfield, and now to Kernow

Try the stagecoach uk fleetlist site which also covers First group & East Yorkshire. This has depot allocations, liveries etc. Google should find the site for you.

This site is updated by enthusiasts, (once registered) & is fairly up to date but obviously there can be a time lag with some updates.

There is a slight problem with the site at the moment in that the search facility is not working but once you're registered the "edit" facility can be used to access the lists completely. You could also then correct any entries you find to be incorrect. Pete.
