40369 brough back from death row and is now back in service at Oldham seen on 415 today

RE: First Manchester
I wonder whether 40369 is to replace the Solo's that have been appearing on 415 again recently, 415 is quite an odd route at the moment as no 2 workings are ever the same, in fact yesterday it looked like the following in use:

1 Wright Crusader Dart
2 Plaxton SLF Darts
1 Marshall Dart

Considering that until recently Oldham had at least 4 or 5 Plaxton SLFs I wonder whether any have been withdrawn recently.

Also I was in Ashton yesterday and I noticed that all of their Marshall Darts have now got working LEDs in the now and were being used on a variety of routes

Speaking of Ashton Depot have any of their Solos (The 53 ones) had a repaint recently only quite a few of them were looking rather tidy yesterday and if they have been repainted I wonder why they weren't repainted into the new livery

Quite surprising to see a B9 (may have been 37441) operating on the 408 today.

RE: First Manchester
60385 broke down on Portland Street this afternoon around 5pm-ish next to the entrance of Piccadilly Gardens bus station. Recovery vehicle ended up blocking the entrance, which resulted in a Stagecoach staff member having to stand at Portland Street at Charlotte Street junction and directing all terminating buses to go down Charlotte St to Mosley Street.
