Snapped DLP's 4163 4168 and 4167 resting in the yard:- http://www.flickr.com/photos/kevin_rowe/10512765394/
Are any of these DLPs destined for normal service? I think I have heard rumours that they are just for School routes.
They are primarily for school routes, but regularly operate the 19A which is timed in between the school turns. Some have been reported on the full 19 and the 263 as well.
Not sure whether they've ever worked the full 19 route during the day but there's usually been one on 18:30 19 Altrincham-Manchester Airport service as this works onto 19 from doing a couple of journeys on 19A, not to sure what will happen now the 19As have now been withdrawn though, I hoping one gets to fly its wings and ends up on 130s
How many school runs operate out of this depot?
Two of the DLP vehicles were out today on the 16 and 263.
I'm guessing they'll be out on odd services this week as most Schools are on Half-Term this week so they won't be needed for School Services in the afternoon
What have the commanders from Bolton replaced

Thankfully the likes of 2238-2256 are few & far between now on this, its very very rare to get a decker on the 130s as their usually tied up on school runs etc although one would come in handy as the 130 in eve/morn rush hours gets absolutely wedged standing room only most days.
DD's have operated the 130 all week so far this week. Not on all services but at least on the service that gets to The Alexander Hospital at about 1705, Macc bound.

Typo, sorry, Alexandra Hospital, not Alexander.
