My fleetlist below for Wigan which I think is pretty much up to date unless anyone can confirm otherwise. Exactly 120 vehicles.

Trainer 61351 and Recovery Truck 90021 have both been parked up at Bolton for the last two weeks or so. There are also some withdrawn stock there as well including some B10BLEs from Queens Road but these may have moved back.

There isnt much in the way of newer vehicles in that fleet , seems like First Group knew what they was doing , its the TfGM vehicles that bring the age profile down.

Well two good things would be seeing the 540 and 600 under stagecoach control

Exactly my thinking

Are there any routes that are jointly operated by Wigan and Bolton?

They are at Wigan? :O I've not seen them in service here yet! R5LCB is another gonner too. :P

Real contrast to the Enviros, B9s and B7s normally used on the route, Scania L94UB 61141 was on the 8 this morning

It was out all day, I saw it at 5pm heading into Manchester.

Something that I forgot to mention! At around 11:00 today at The Trafford Centre, 37303 had just been stuck to a tow truck and was departing to go back to the depot that it came from I assume! :P

First have finally posted news on their website about the Wigan sale to Stagecoach.

Also on the website, it mentions that the 162/163 is now part of the 'personal bus service' (buses with the new livery).

Only the X34 as Bolton have some peak only journeys on that, unless any school routes are jointly worked, but presumably they would stay as they where.
