New arrival.

Not much going on at Ashton this week apart from this next hybrid turning up. It's one of dukinfields new buses and looks very smart indeed. It's the first one with a few more to follow in January i'm told.

  1. Good to see some new hybrids around, some one said they were supposed to be on the 380/1/6 routes.

    31927/29/43 still in service as for now but 40374 seems have to returned back to Ashton, seen on the 350. There might be a few more darts to come yet. The oldest darts40871/78/79 not seen in service at all this week, 42175 seen in service on the 348 till it brokedown right outside of the rear exit gate of Tameside college.

    I think the double deck are to move to Oldham this weekend.

  6. I was thinking the same, a few solos to move to Oldham when the rest of the new buses arrive. Ive seen Darts on the 353/4 before. Usually at nights and Sundays.

    Im guessing if they do move a few solos to Oldham, guessing they will be 40312/3/4/27.
    40311 moved to Chester around 2 months ago.

  7. seen a photo of 40311 fully repainted just had it confimed that 40366 is now back at Dukinfield

    I was thinking the same on solos as they can use the 54s on 419 and 350s etc
