I finally managed to get around to uploading my video of DAF SB220/Ikarus Polaris Y37 KNB on the hill climb to Edgworth. I don't even think "diabolical contraption" is the word quite frankly.

These do seem to be on normal services, you can generally catch one on Blackburn Road on the 534/5/8 services.
Another DLP at Bolton is 4171 LJ51 DLK

Arriva will be making changes to the 360 service at the end of the month, as they will withdraw the short journeys between Wigan and Golborne, while the weekday service will be increased to every 20 mins between Wigan and Warrington.

The 360 is run by St Helens, and the changes are apparently due to the 320 and 360 being inter-worked.
The 360 is run by st helens not bolton lol.
I've put links to new 360 timetable in Arriva St Helens thread.
How are the the Presidents in service compared to the DLAs??? Still suffering "London"itis or are these types more upto speed?
