RE: First Manchester
31952 was on the 83 this evening, I think it must have returned to Oldham.

This must account for the loans of 37411 and 66889.

Bolton Depot

Repaints so far Are

37369

37417
37418

Certainley explains why the 36 and 37 B9s have been getting slowly debranded over recent weeks

Saw 37418 out on the 8 this afternoon. Didn't have any branding on it. Did see a bus in the new livery parked up at Bolton depot when I was on the 36 a couple of weeks ago and it look like it had something like 'Bolton' written on the side. Not sure, as it was only seen briefly from a distance.

37386 has been repainted into new livery, was seen out on the 83 earlier this evening. 37551/37555/37559/37562 still in old livery, while 37560 in old livery and 82/83 branding still on it.

Couple of B9TLs in the new livery out on the 425 today too.

37417 was running the 561 in Withins earlier, being operated by the biggest idyiot bus driver ever:P

RE: First Manchester
Interesting seeing the Bury Interchange Inspector at Four lane Ends afternoon, checking the running board on the 582s at Four Lane Ends. Must be short staffed to have him down there, mind you earlier I did see him at Leigh Bus Station. They seem to move around a lot.

I've been informed that they have cut back their revenue inspection team for reasons I won't go into on here, but that may have been why.

Thanks Nicholos,

That makes sense, come to think of it you hardly ever see any revenue collection inspectors anymore, I think it's a long long time, since I sighted any of them in and around Bury, cut backs explain why.

RE: First Manchester
37384 has now been repainted into the new livery, spotted it this morning on the 184, although no branding added yet.
