RE: Rossendalebus
I wonder what routes the 20 new buses will be for? My guess would be 11 for the 464 and 9 for the interworking 484 and 485 (I think I got the PVRs right)

Route 464 was certainly Rosso's flagship route and a likely frontrunner.

I've not seen a posting specifying 20 new buses - just £3 million investment. Are there any more details?

Also, has anything been said about fleet renumbering, as the 2xx single deckers clash? Indeed, 241-9 could revert to their original numbers, having been purchased from Transdev barely 4 years ago.

Any info on these new buses yet, given its now as month since the "immediate" investment was announced? Presumably Versas, but when??

RE: Rossendalebus
Changes to Rosso/Transdev services in April.

Service 244 is re-numbered 481 and extended to Bury via 482/483 route. Service 484 is curtailed to run between Bury and Ramsbottom only with the Ramsbottom-Accrington section replaced by a re-routed X41 service, which is also curtailed to run between Accrington and Manchester only via Ramsbottom.

There is also re-timing of several services including 467/468 and 469, which will see extra journeys added to replace First's withdrawn 468 service.

New buses confirmed on 464, the others quoted are only getting "newer" buses
