Finally i ended up going through Flixton, Urmston and ending up at Chorlton Water park. On the way back i passed the new tram line at St Werburghs Road. I believe it is already running here and will finally go on to East Didsbury.

Small Trip Out
On holiday this week so today i managed to get out on my bike. Headed into Manchester first of all where i found this tram broken down at the market street stop causing all sort of problems. Someone said is had derailed but i couldnt see where.
Then i headed off down to St Peters square to find a car on the roof of the library. Odd way of advertising. But interesting.

Interesting foray by First into deep Stagecoach country. Though they jointly operate the 22 from Bolton into the town, they've never been big on the town. Sad to see Stotts lose work to First. Mic, when you say new buses for the above routes, exactly how new? Lol
ReplyDeleteMic, a few day a go I was on the 330 which was on a diversion through some industrial estates and it passed the First Pioneer depot - I saw 40347/71 parked up there.
ReplyDeleteI was also on the 217 2 days later going up mossley road over the hills and 40371 shot past with 'Private) 0' on the front of it.
40406 not been around lately
22094 IS a stockport bus now - caught it by surprise on the 327 back to Denton

ReplyDeleteSeems like some darts are missing from Ashton - ive not seen 40361/62/64/40406 for about 2 weeks or more now - anyone know anything about them?
