Wow!

I've not been down to Hyde road for a few weeks and was amazed to see this monster in the back car part. It's the new mast for our radio system which we are getting in the new year. Should hopefully make contacting the buses a little easier. It's hard to show how big this thing really is but it does cause a creek in the neck looking up at it.

    If Ashton was to get some hybrid buses which routes do you think they would operate on.

    Ive read that the First pioneer 4 new hybrids are being fleet numbered to 49113/4/5/6. Following on from the 12 existing that are used on the metroshuttle services)

    I doubt tfgm would finance or back hybrids on the 216 as it would interfere with the metrolink, 219 is a better bet though !!

    219s is what i have heard. Increased serviced and hybrid buses run from both depots as competition with the metrolink. makes sense. Not heard uit via official channels only through site like this though,

    I saw some poor soul working at the top of it on Thursday!

    Hope it's worth it, can't stand it when I only get half a call; or when someone leaves the radio on so we get 90 seconds of random clicks and static.
