I saw it pass me on the 10 to Jarrow at about 15:05

If different depots share the same route (e.g 62/63, X34), bustimes will often (assumingly) display the latest depot to register the route. if you click on absolutey any walkergate bus operating the 62/63 today or any other day, it will say its a slatyford bus.

anyone know roughly how many manchester cascades SNE is receiving in the near future?

The 66 plate 26’s transfer to shields to see off the pointer darts, man e200s and release more 37s down to Hartlepool once all the Manchester transfers have arrived

I don't know but not sure they'll be moving anytime soon they'll be replaced by the electrics if they ever turned up surely? 

The 30/31/36 unless there's been a sudden boost in numbers definitely don't need deckers and as far as I'm aware there's no singles in Manchester moving.

Just reading these messages I work at Slatyford as a driver I can’t see why the 66 plate 260’s would leave. From my understanding the next things to leave are the 27’s as they’re euro 5 engined probably being replaced by stocktons 262’s and then the electrics will probably replace the 241’s
