I think Wigan Buses, Bullocks and Checkmate are the only companies left in Manchster which use the very outdated Wayfarer 2 ticket machines which is what produced your ticket above Bolton Bus Basher. I know a couple of years back I acquired an any bus daysaver from Stotts and had similar problems with drivers from bigger firms having a very good look which is annoying.

Wigan Coachways still use them, Maybe Go Goodwins? but yea, think i will avoid getting a System One on their Buses in future as its not worth all the hassle that comes with it

Go Goodwins and M Travel use Wayfarer 3's which produce slightly better tickets.
I would drop system one an email telling them you were wrongly charged. It might only be 20p but it's not really fair that thier charging a higher price than advertised.
The latest addition to the fleet is Ex Stagecoach Lancaster Solo YN04 XYY (new to Kirkby Lonsdale Coach Hire)
47249, think it was in blue livery.
The Solo seems to get about abit but i regularly see it around 13:03 behind the 320 leaving Wigan bus station
Dont know how true it is but heard yeasterday that wigan buses are to cease trading sometime this year due to the owner wanting to retire.
Been told to Expect an announcement in the next few weeks, Company will close and Buses sold off via Auction
