Monday 6 July 2015 (0918) – The charming stone buildings in the Saddleworth village of Delph surround First Manchester 47472 (SN14 EAF), a Wright Streetlite DF new May 2014, which was seen in King Street, the main street of the village. It was working the 0830 service 350 from Ashton-under-Lyne which travels an indirect route via Mossley, Micklehurst, Greenfield, Uppermill, Delph and Scouthead. To serve Delph the service runs from Delph Crossroads into the village and around Carrcote estate returning back to via the same route to Delph Crossroads. Just visible in the background is another First Manchester bus, 69328 (YJ09 FWY) which was operating in the opposite direction on service 350, the 0859 from Oldham. These two buses ran in to and out of the village together.
