Yes it is true about Winsford's MD starting at Bolton shortly as I got told myself last night by a friend of mine from Bolton Depot, exiting things in store for Bolton Depot then as down to the current Management at Bolton why the don't do many lates anymore
well things might just of changed:
PC0002598/351 - ARRIVA NORTH WEST LTD, 73 ORMSKIRK ROAD, LIVERPOOL, L9 5AE
Variation Accepted by SN: Operating between Bolton and Wigan given service number 715 effective from 15-Apr-2013. To amend Timetable
very possible that will include the lates and sundays

Probably too soon for it to be that but would make sense for Arriva to run the ex-Maytree journeys.
according to an arriva bolton driver 2 mini hybrids are due, i can only assume these are the hybrids for the 512/513, IF this is correct this will mean arrivas will have a 7 day service from bolton to bury (adding with the 510 sunday daytime service) if i hear anything else i will post

I've heard the 512/513 are back at First which requires 4 Hybrids. The 544 and 559 also used Hybrids I think so could be for them.
well we soon find out mate
i just asked arriva on their facebook page if they are taking the 559 on and they said they are not taking the service on, shame really
525.526.527.538.539.570.714 are the services we won according to a mate there, all bar the 714 is on a 3 month 1 week deal the 714 is on a yearly deal so am told
bolton depot taking on 4 buses for maytree tenders along with 14 drivers
3 buses at least are in the fleet
7617 in from WY for the extra work load
4016 and 4017 are also in from WY but for the school fleet to replace 2 more step entrance deckers.
more buses due soon
in other news the 714 is being ran by MPDs
