Something unusual

Just noticed this 216 come into ashton. The destination blinds appear to be all in capital letters. It does stick out more and i think it looks better although i have not seen any other bus with the same style. Working in the bus station today. I'm expecting a tough day as Manchester city are playing everton at home.

  3. Saw a Checkmate Optare Solo bus filling up at the Total petrol station near Copley school.
    Shouldnt Checkmate have their own pump at their depot??

    Ive also noticed that when any bus (with orange LED display) has a trip on the 237 to Ashton, that also uses that format.
    The 237 to Glossop is the usual format with places sliding from right to left. Not sure about 236.

  5. Small firms like checkmate tend to use fuel cards at a local garage instead of having there own facilities.
