We report Swift X-Ray Telescope (XRT) detections of outbursts of two recurrent X-ray transients in M 31 in October 2008 and give information about the luminosity evolution of two X-ray transients that were discovered in July and August 2008 (see ATels #1647 and #1674). 1.) A new outburst of XMMM31 J004224.5+412401 (VG2007 233) (Voss & Gilfanov 2007, A&A 468, 49; Stiele et al. 2008, A&A 480, 599) was detected with 12+-4 counts (corrected for exposure and vignetting) in a 2.5 ks Swift XRT observation starting on 2008-10-15.15 UT (ObsID 31255009).
