I fully agree with your views, Mayneway.

I hope no one does decide to leave the forum over a disagreement as that would be a real shame. We're all entitled to our opinions and all entitled to be treated with respect on this forum. Should anyone feel there is anything tantamount to bullying going on, please PM myself or one of the other moderators and we'll address it as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, both myself and CX06 EBK are busy in our personal lives at the moment so we haven't had as much time as usual to spend on the forum, and in this way I apologise for not addressing the posts in this thread earlier.

Please, let's try to all get along as we usually do and keep this forum a peaceful place to discuss our hobby. As stated in the forum rules, no name calling please under any circumstances and let's allow everyone to have their say as long as it is worded reasonably and fairly.

Also, just to clarify, we discourage people from swearing and have stronger words filtered out (and I've just added a couple to the list based on earlier posts in this thread) but there is no hard and fast rule. This isn't school, after all!

Back on topic, anyone know why 33690 was on 348/350 today? It has no depot stickers, but legals are still First Manchester Ltd.

Are they Euro 5 or 6?

Also, has anyone seen 12004 recently? I haven't seen it since shortly after they where repainted (one of the first few repainted with 12016, 12017 & 12018 from what I can remember).

RE: First Manchester
Rusholme Streetlites 63096, 63146, 63147 and 63151 have all lost their CrossConnect branding today, unsure if another form of branding is to be applied as the 41 Eccles extension is also to be branded CrossConnect.

33832, 33834 and 33840 are recent arrivals at Rusholme, 33835, 33837, 33838, 33851, 33852, 33853, 33855, 33856 & 33857 are all on the road now.

Oldham Olympian 34094 clings on to life, operating the 1645 X84 to Carrcote this afternoon.
