Looks whats back.



Just finished a mad friday afternoon. The manchester roadworks are causing all sorts of problems. At one point i saw 7 216s on great ancoats street stuck in traffic, i managed to do all 3 trips just about but it's been hard work. I can see it getting worse in the next few weeks. Just on my way home and noticed this bus 19084 has been returned to us following the fire damage last year. Not had chance to look around in the light but the rear looks like it's been refurbished. it will certainly help as we seem to be running man buses on all routes at the moment. Including some mans that seemed to have been lent to us from other depots. Back in tomorrow at 9.

UPDATE: Here is the link for the December fleetlist should anyone want it. FLEETLIST

  2. Hardly anything really. Oh yeah the staff taxi bus is running a minute later lol. Apart from that not really. Was hoping for a big shake up but it's not come. The 217 218 survive another rewrite without change and we still don't have the 168 169s which i would like at some point.

    I thought that Ashton was going to be running the 231's that run Ashton to Manchester and that Hyde road would run the ones that run Littlemoss to Manchester

  4. Is ther going to be a shake up on the 217/8's or is there some changes youd like to see happen

  5. No not doing 231s. Apart from on sundays which we do already and the odd journey at peak times. As for the 217 no big shake up due. Just changes that i would like to see that would improve passenger numbers and reliability at peak times. The length of the route leaves it open to all sorts of traffic hot spots and it's constantly getting covered by 216s at peak time. Whilst the actual service bus is trying to make it's way to manchester without anyone on the bus.
