I felt sorry for the driver, I bet it was really getting on her nerves how slow it was! It was even struggling on flat roads! :O

I know 31919 only to well, thomas, and yes it is horrendously slow, and I didnt think anything was slower than 31917............

The Arrows should be waving goodbye, and hopefully the XDZ s 31811/6 At Bury will go as well, don'y get me started on them buses

I was gonna say, you can't just slate Arrows and only Arrows off all of the time when there's those XDZ things running about everywhere! Then there's the P---LND Pointer Darts. Really? They need to burn. They sound and make me feel depressed!!! :P

Ha Ha yeah, I wouldn't slate the arrows when those shocking XDZ at BY are still running, in fact ill stick my head out and say something that may shock coming from me Arrows are better buses than them vile XDZ Olys, all a load of old Junk though really.

I loved 40337 At BN loved it when it did my local 510 and BN used it more a less daily or every other, good to hear its still going

Never travelled on 40403, didn't it start life at Bolton that one? Been on 40400/1/2/4/5 many times. Also wished Id been on 40406, is that still going strong?

RE: First Manchester
Anyone know if Bolton Depot are doing any schools in the Bury Area

In the last few days coming through Ainsworth everyday

have seen

31917/8/22/24

40402/5 all on schools

Now I know Bury Were and still do some schools in Bolton Area, it seems that Bolton are doing the reverse in Bury

RE: First Manchester
Just a note, on Dart 40403 gaining a new engine, I Think 40405 could do with one, for some reason. I Keep seeing it broken down every few days or so. And whilst we are on it 40404 is being used on 512 and 571/2 services a lot this week. And the gear box sounds really messed up
