That Depot of Arriva's so doesn't look all that secure, It does give you the impression, that you could just walk in off the Road, and you literally can, there is a front entrance and a side entrance, looking so vunerable. Looking at First Bus its totally different, they have top notch security, espically at BN Weston Street Depot in Great Lever. Where as Arriva Bolton just Don't .
I like the picture of the Arriva Bus in the Mail online article, correct me if I'm wrong but Arriva don't have any vehicles similar to the one in the photo, the photo shows a picture of the Plaxton Verde (Swampy) that Arriva used to own years ago with the caption: Bailed: Terry Potter got behind the wheel of a single-decker Arriva bus (similar to this one) parked at the Bolton bus depot (pictured) and went on a two hour joyride but was only caught when he was spotted by a colleague
Trust a newspaper to go with the wrong photo, surely it couldnt have been that hard to find a photo of something current in Arriva's fleet as it seems that The Bolton News didn't have a problem doing so
Typical daily mail for you that. Bolton bus depot is bolton bus station as well owned by GMPTE
i thought the bus depot was owned by roger jarvis
