RE: JPT - Terence Price - 15 Dec 2013

January really does seem to be a bad month for JPT as they are now going to withdraw their 112 daytime service and their 113, the 112 Daytime service will be partly replaced by extra trips on their 118 service. Hope JPT start some more routes soon!


RE: First Manchester - Damien - 15 Dec 2013

Two of those B9s are linked with Bolton due to 69569/70 moving to Oldham 42940/1 moving to pioneer would leave Bolton two short it seems


RE: First Manchester - Terence Price - 17 Dec 2013

Oldham Dart 40406 S280 SBA was on the 149 16/12/13, was stood in North Manchester General Hospital when it showed up displaying 000 Middleton so it has missed out the Tendered part of the route! am sure this is also a rare sighting! one more thing i noticed is that is said Wigan on the Reg Plate.


RE: Stagecoach in Manchester - Terence Price - 17 Dec 2013

Stagecoach Middleton Depot had Volvo Olympian P728 GND on their 112 service today, it only lasted until lunchtime tho as mate of mine David Davies did a Bus swap with it. One thing that makes me laugh is its still in Magic Bus Livery but the 112 is not a Magic Bus Route.
