Thank you, this explains the involvement of both garages.

I don't know exact numbers, but their current routes for 63000 series ones are
41 Manchester - Rusholme - Sale
42 Manchester - Rusholme - East Didsbury (but will also serve North Manchester Hospital from April 27th)

I believe small versions ie 47000s are being introduced on
348 Ashton - Carrbrook
350 Ashton - Hey Farm (but I doubt the through journeys to Oldham)

the ashton streetlites will do 348/350 to both hey farm and oldham metroline as they all 17 buses at least 2x a day go to oldham and back as the roster goes usually something like this
348 (848)
350 hey (953)
348 (1058)
350oldham (1103)
348 (1508)
350 hey (1613)
348 (1728) extra ten mins wait here due to extra bus coming on to help timekeeping
350 oldham ( 1833)

generally it doing 2 348/350 to hey farm with the 3rd 350 being a oldham run

every bus on a 348/350 duty will go to oldham at least once in the day

but these buses will/can venture onto any ashton route atm due to the layout of yard and veh availability

RE: First Manchester
Now considering yesterday was Sunday Service I was quite surprised to get to Ashton and find Marshall Darts and the odd Plaxton Dart in service yesterday, the Plaxton was out on 389s which I found odd as usually on Sunday's 389 is usually operated with Hybrids and I would have thought that more of the Streelites would have been out

RE: First Manchester
Streetlites are starting to appear more and more now on all services, spotted one on the 387 as well as the usuals on 348/350. And the Marshall Darts need getting rid of, they are utter c**p
