Seen heading down Oldham Street in Manchester yesterday out of service while I was on my way into work was FM30 (Ferryhill Motors loan) Wright B7 which I think is currently with Middleton Depot for some unforknown reason.

5 of these Enviro 200s have started service around Stockport on Monday 11th September. Fleet numbers are...

26141/SN67WVJ
26142/SN67WVK
26143/SN67WVL
26144 /SN67WVM
26145/SN67WVO

Couple of interesting changes see's the 24 Stockport - Salford Quay withdrawn due to low Passenger numbers and also the commercial 33 Manchester - Wigan on a Sunday daytime that might be replaced by a TFGM Tender.

Regarding 33 Wigan-Manchester service I know that Diamondbus Northwest have a tender to operate the service but to be honest what I'm not to sure of is whether their going to be operating the full Mon-Sun evening tender or whether its just say Sunday tender

TFGM are currently looking into putting a tender out for the Sunday Daytime service but as of yet there has been no decision yet
