There was also a DLP (not sure which one) on 575 this evening I spotted it going through Blackrod towards Wigan at about 18:45, it would have been on one of the few journies that don't interwork with 362

Thanks for the update mm. Be interesting to see if that one stays at SH for the schools as you say.

TfGM timetable for the 715 is now on the website. While it has been mentioned that Arriva is curtailing the 715 to run between Westhoughton and Bolton, it hasn't been mentioned that they will increase the service to every 30 minutes.

Can see Arriva pulling of the 715 fully real soon, you dont need 4 Buses an hour between Bolton and Westhoughton, It was only just working when Arriva had 2 Buses an hour


RE: Arriva North West - Bolton Depot - SF07 - 25/08/2015 18:06

There's only 3 buses per hour between Bolton and Westhoughton on the 715, as Diamond Bus run one per hour to Wigan and one per hour to Ladybridge. The journey times between Westhoughton and Bolton is a similar length to Stagecoach's 540 service, which is more frequent at 4 per hour.

Indeed your correct! Either way i still cannot see it lasting as it only just paid when Arriva had the service to themselves and ran a half hourly Service
