They lose that too later in the year don't they.
Yea, Someone else got it from July
What routes will Bolton have left after they've lost these contracts? Other than the services listed on the Arriva website there are more such as one in Bury I didn't know about, even if they are only evening or Sunday services.

Thanks for letting me know, as I had forgotten route 79 being Arriva. I rarely if ever see it anyway! I rode it last Saturday, and as the first journey of the day was 15 minutes late at Stretford, this might explain why I hardly knew this route. I felt like seeing the route through MediaCity. I was surprised about Solo 660 being recently refurbished. (I wonder what it is with Arriva delays, as by chance I caught the first evening 370 at Stockport, as this was 20 minutes late too).

Thanks for posting this, i was Not aware of the 539 getting Withdrawn, Just another in a long line of Losses for Arriva Bolton
If Bolton were to lose any more work is it possible Arriva could run these services from St Helens and Wythenshawe? Seems to be shrinking quite a lot that Bolton network to what Stagecoach Ribble/Lancashire United/Blue Blus used to have!
