2563 Y36 KNB was also in service this morning...on the 6/7! Looked tired and past it's best both internally and externally going from what I could see going past it. 2563 also has LEDs now, got a feeling they're the ones from 2028 as 2563s LEDs have a lot of dots permanently on like 2028s did. 7618 was also soldiering on today despite all the Bolton cascades, on the 8.

2565 is the only one that went through the P&P whilst at Bolton. The others were still based at Manchester at the time and only moved over when it shut. But you're right, the IKs are past it.
how old are the iks now?.
They are Y reg so isn't that 2001?
That's right Sumner - 2653-5 were new in March 2001

I agree with you Luke, 2563 looks very tired from the outside, passed it this morning on Edge Lane.
Although reported elsewhere I thought I'd post it here as well
According to the Arriva North West Facebook page Green Lane are due eighteen new buses in the summer
Wonder if these are the rumoured deckers which have been suggested will be used on the 12/13 for a good while now? Guess all we can do is wait and see, would personally be shocked if it was deckers though!
Their Facebook page states Pulsars, sorry Luke!
