Few pictures of the bus driver of the year finals at Ashton today. The weather has been a bit dull today but the mood has been good. I had a try and I'm just waiting to see how I did.

  7. Thought it was, one point 22142 had been reported up in Aberdeen. Seen 40370 confined to the 331/3 routes along with 40360? Thanks for the note on 40314, 40313 still has pioneer legals with it and 50280 think is reported to be in Oldham depot undergoing maintenance i think.
    Does anyone know what the status of 22105/20/49 as they are still parked in AZ depot but not seen out in service, 22120 was on staff taxi yesterday.
    19285 on loan to AZ as seen on the evening 237.

    2. yep seen them both on the 350 a while ago but seeming to be hanging around on wither 38/39/331/333 routes.
      Yes there are plenty of newer darts down south such as what you have mentioned. Saw other R reg darts when in Great Yarmouth a year ago being 42444 which I only rode on and saw 42446/51/6/60/1 they seem more looked after to the ones in Manchester.

      Also saw 31519 being towed to PVS through Tintwislte on Monday, not sure which division it belonged too before disposal.
