Sorry, I did not make a note of it.

I have six DLAs down as still allocated: 4031, 4058, 4062, 4063, 4065 and 4093. There are no verified sightings of 4031 for a long while though, so can anyone confirm the present DLA situation at Bolton, please?

4031 was on 534 today.

4063 was in Sale today working route 19 to Mcr Airport!
2677 CX58 EUV has had a full repaint. I know this batch was only part repainted into interurban but I would have thought 2996-9 or the Solos would have been given a lick of paint first. Looks smart though.
2677 used to have a few odd coloured panels one side.

Does anybody know if Bolton's "DLAs" and "DLPs" see normal use - and, if so, mainly on what service(s) - please?
I think DLA's normally run school duties but can sometimes be seen on the 534. I was hoping to get one on there today but it was 2688 and 2464 running, at the same time 4031 was parked out of use. By the time I got back 4031 had gone.

DLP's are usually on the 535, but when I try to get one it's normally a Hybrid.
