As the swaps happen I will post it on here, We shall then know for sure what Pulsars do come to Bolton

3130 is now at Bolton and is on the 575/362 today, DLP 4184 is on the 10

Am i the only one reading something into this as Arriva Making Bolton look easier to purchase by moving in cheaper nastier Pulsars?

If that was the case routes would be getting moved around too not just buses.

if you look at Arriva generally in Greater Manchester, they are a fairly minor player compared with Stagecoach and First.

if they were selling i would think VLW`s and DLP`S Would be switched there not Pulsars

It wouldn't surprise me if these Pulsars got Sapphire livery for route 10.

It's for standardisation purposes so the B5LH fleet is concentrated at one depot

Yes the Pulsars coming here will be the 12 plate ones from Laird Street

Sounds more like that Arriva management have decided that the route does not warrant deckers whereas Laird Street can make better use of them.
A situation similar to the return of 4476-78 to Speke.
