Whats the repainted Eclipse at Wigan?
Lots of odd allocations from Wigan today including Renowns on the 631 short excels on the 598 and quite a few eclipses straying onto other routes.

Probably 66931 which was seen at Bolton paintshop last week. Someone said it had been an accident victim hence the repaint.
It looks a bit scruffy when you see the moquette in it also doesnt have full fleetnumbers applied think its also missing First Logos and side advertisement boards? (rear ones are definitely fitted though)
saw 60228 in uppermill today not in service and did not have a ticket machine in

That's a Bolton Trick, as seen on the BN based B9s no fleet numbers send the bus out slack and slipshod, ok they order the sticker kits per bus, and if they've not arrived when the bus is done, there applied later, but there is no exscuse for lack of fleet ident

Probably been Mot'd and prepped for service, rumors are mainly Oldham locals and Rochdale work for the citaros.
The tears are actually rolling down my face reading about these darts going. I have so many memories of them
