40353 is a Bolton bus and X34 a Wigan service

RE: First Manchester
The X34 is jointly run by WN and QS with BN providing some peak journeys.

Only recently, Mic.

RE: First Manchester
It goes something like this:

From Leigh
0605 WN, 0625 ??, 0645 BN, 0700 WN, 0715 BN, 0730 QS, 0745 ??, 0912 WN, 0942 QS, then xx:12 WN, xx:42 QS until 1542 QS, 1625 WN, 1652 QS, 1727 WN

From Manchester
0655 WN, 0812 WN, 0912 WN, 0942 QS, then xx:12 WN, xx:42 QS until 1612 WN, 1642 WN, 1712 QS, 1742 WN, 1812 BN, 1842 WN

Some peak workings may have changed depot since the recent changes, and I may have one or two morning ones wrong.

Edit: Liam, BN have had workings on the X34 ever since it started. They also ran a number of journeys on the old 34.

Ah I thought it was due to the recent timetable change which included the 25/26 being moved to Bolton Depot, my bad.

Hmmmm do you know where they will be going? Maybe they'll go to Bolton for the 25! Or to anywhere else that has recently introduced new routes.

I saw a picture of 60218 ages ago in the Bury depot I think looking sorry for itself with some bits missing and that if I remember correctly! It's great news that it's returned, it is fully refurbished inside with the new-style First seats that the MX58###/09### B9TLs have!
