RE: First Manchester
34088 broke down on St Mary's Way in Oldham this afternoon, as you go uphill from Yorkshire Street. Look like it didn't have the legs to make it all the way up. Made it a bit awkward squeezing through the gap in between the bus and the pelican crossing for overtaking buses.

37307 and 37308 look like they are getting ready for repaint. One has had some of the branding removed, whilst the other is showing its full offside "Express Yourself" branding for the first time in about four-and-a-half years!

Totally forgot it was at QS! Prob is a loan due to it's advert unless some of BN's B9s are starting to be repainted?

40358 is still in the workshop and loans like it has had a repaint (in the old livery).

Ok I've got a friend here trying to tell me that 31937 was out on a circular route in Wigan today LOL. That is absolute bull isn't it? In Wigan today, I saw:

31923 - 621/8.
31928 - 621/8.
31930 - 540.
31932 - 625/6.
31938 - 610.
31941 - 610.
31946 - 658.
31947 - 600.

I was in Wigan Bus Station for no more than an hour, and I saw no 31937! The last time that I saw 31937 was at Bryn in a 'scrapped' condition lol! This one hasn't come back has it? I don't believe what my friend is telling me, but I could be wrong, you never know with First! :P
