Probably 13115 (FN06FLC), Scania/Irizar recently transferred to Atherton from Blackpool.
I'm not sure what its role is meant to be. The only time I've seen it away from the depot it was parked at Bolton Interchange for over an hour before leaving empty.

It works a school service, one way each morning and afternoon and gets used for taxis in-between, time to time it breaks out onto service work

FN06FLC is actually a Volvo B12B Caetano Levante not a Scania Iriza, as for its use on EL1s on Saturday this was due to the fact that the demo bus YH66VMO which is normally allocated to EL1s was actually out on Rail Replacement duties.

The rest of the white ones are due to have repaints tied in with MOT's and one, can't remember the number, after accident repairs.
