I just have to ask - when did The Stig begin training the drivers of First Manchester?

I'm sure that the 350 route from Ashton under Lyne to Hey Farm is the first one where Recaro seats with full safety harnesses are fitted as standard - for the passengers!!!!

And who'd have thought that a bus can actually powerslide through bottom Mossley!!!! Pity my local pizza firm don't have the same ethic!

All those images of a bus being slow and poorly maintained are now vanquished......... well the slow anyway!
