I think they bid for it around the time they lost the Bicester Shuttle - not sure if it was to keep the drivers employed or an unlucky co-incidence.

Noticed the scanias havent been out for a little while. Have these now been withdrawn or just not being used during the lockdown

They were put up for sale for £12k each in December.

40004 was noted on the M61 heading to Bolton depot Thursday 19/02.

Anyone know if 40716 is at Bolton Depot vice Preston, a friend thinks he saw it at the depot but not 100%, hasn't shown as anything in Preston since 19/01.

They do appear now and again sure there were 2 out a few weekends ago both on the 8.

69152 has now left Bolton and is now at Caledonia

Just trying to tie up the list of B7RLEs painted into Preston Bus livery. Ones I’ve seen so far include:

69139/46/49/57/59/66/86

69186 has moved to Preston but not entered service, the others are still in service at Bolton.

Any other updates would be welcome

Despite loosing a number of tenders in the Altrincham region, Just seen on Facebook that Diamond are now looking for new drivers to join the team at Eccles Depot. According to the Facebook post

Quote:these new roles are a part of the company’s commitment to developing new services in the North West area, of which they are expanding their services

Sounds like new Commercial Services which has been hinted in the past

Simple reason really..... a number of Eccles drivers have moved across the road to continue driving the Altrincham services.
