Well, you are a clever lot! This is Minerva Road, Farnworth close to Mount St Jospeh School. Well done if you got it right!

Now, we think today's #MysteryMonday location puzzle is hard - unless for you it's easy! Our clue is that the building on the left still stands today. Do you have a clue? If so, tell us and we'll confirm the answer later.

We bring our #SaturdayShowoff to you to highlight our collection and maybe tempt you to visit. This week it's London RM1414 - it was tried in Manchester when it was new, in 1963. Want to see it? Visiting details at https://t.co/z6gblubvRU

Several people have reported feeling 'odd' or 'a chill' when on 321. You can choose to believe or not that 321 is haunted. If you want to come and have a look, it's on display in our museum. Ask our staff if it's okay to get on board to have a look around - if you dare...

One of our volunteers was in 321, alone, working upstairs at the front. He felt someone watching him and he saw them out of the corner of his eye - it was a little boy, dressed in old-fashioned shorts, shirt and a tank top. The volunteer looked around - and the boy was gone.

It's said that after that, some crews didn't like 321 - there was, they said, 'something' that made it unpopular. That's one reason why it was saved for preservation - it had done fewer miles than other buses in the batch. Fast forward to the 1990s, and 321 is under restoration.

Here's a #Halloween story for you... In 1951, #Stockport Corporation 321 arrived brand new from the Crossley factory just up the road. When it was still relatively new, it knocked down and killed a little boy - we have this in our archives records.

Our #ThrowbackThursday scene isn't that long ago, but it's changed for ever - a GM Buses service on Cannon Street, central Manchester. Almost nothing that you can see in this photo remains today.

Well done if you got it right! This wasn’t our hardest one, it’s at The Trough in Audenshaw (the clue is the trough, visible in the centre of the photo). We’ll be setting a harder one next week…

Electric buses in Manchester aren't new! Trolleybuses operated here until 1966. But as it's #MysteryMonday, we're not saying where this photo was taken. Do you know? Tell us if you think you know, and we'll confirm the answer later.

#OnThisDay in 1986, bus deregulation came to most of the UK including Greater Manchester. This GM Buses advert said 'pick you up tomorrow as usual'...

Please forgive us if our free heritage bus services run a little late from time to time at the event today: roadworks on Queens Road and Rochdale Road are causing some traffic delays. By the way, apologies - EX30 is no longer scheduled to run today.

December 1985, and this view in Manchester's Albert Square is this week's #ThrowbackThursday. And the fact that it's a night view reminds us that it's our Buses By Twilight event this Saturday - for details see https://t.co/9U3wlCjhQh

Well, for the first time in a long time, it looks as though we've defeated our loyal followers! This is Crook Street, Bolton, and that's Holy Trinity church in the background.

Aging isn’t just about years—it’s about your cells. NAD+ helps repair DNA, boost energy, and turn back your cellular clock. The science of longevity starts within.

This is a handsome Bolton Corporation bus - but we're not saying where it was, as it's this week's #MysteryMonday pic. Do you know? If you think so, tell us and we'll confirm the answer later.
