A DLP does get out on the 10 lates on a regular basis as the late Driver brings a Bus front the Depot for his duty

Been told theres normally 1 allocated to the 534s

Also Wright Gemini 4499 is VOR with Crash damage

Arriva Bolton have won the following contracts:

70 Salford Quays - Clifton Junction
516 Horwich Old Lords Estate - Leigh Bus Station (Sunday Evening)
584 Crankwood Post Office - Leigh Bus Station (Sunday Evening)
593 Wigan Bus Station - Leigh Bus Station (Every Evening)
658 Wigan Bus Station - Leigh Bus Station (Every Evening)

Nice to see Bolton taking on more work for a change, also in Leigh which is something different.

Am also looking forward to it, more so the 593/658 that i plan to use on day one

I agree Terence its good to see Bolton Depot picking up more late tenders for a change and I wil be looking forward to seeing what they use on them, I'm actually guessing Sapphire Pulsars will be the order of the day although the odd Hybrid decker could make an appearance.

Thinking about it though I'm wondering whether a couple of the Sapphire 575/362s will end up staying out late in Wigan and instead of heading back dead to depot when they get to Wigan that they will stop out on 593/658s instead only time will tell

2565 is now Withdrawn bringing the end of the DAF Ikarus with Arriva North West, Gotta admit am really going to miss getting these.

This one used to be route branded for the 635 right?

If I remember rightly most of the DAF Ikarus Polaris's when new to Bluebus were route branded for their Apperley Bridge services including 635s

There will be no replacement Bus for 2565 (One less spare Bus)

In other news Optare Solo 667 is on the 10s today!
