Yes it is true about Winsford's MD starting at Bolton shortly as I got told myself last night by a friend of mine from Bolton Depot, exiting things in store for Bolton Depot then as down to the current Management at Bolton why the don't do many lates anymore

Probably too soon for it to be that but would make sense for Arriva to run the ex-Maytree journeys.

according to an arriva bolton driver 2 mini hybrids are due, i can only assume these are the hybrids for the 512/513, IF this is correct this will mean arrivas will have a 7 day service from bolton to bury (adding with the 510 sunday daytime service) if i hear anything else i will post

I've heard the 512/513 are back at First which requires 4 Hybrids. The 544 and 559 also used Hybrids I think so could be for them.

well we soon find out mate


RE: Arriva North West - Bolton Depot - T42 PVM - 05/04/2013 13:15

i just asked arriva on their facebook page if they are taking the 559 on and they said they are not taking the service on, shame really


RE: Arriva North West - Bolton Depot - T42 PVM - 05/04/2013 13:19

525.526.527.538.539.570.714 are the services we won according to a mate there, all bar the 714 is on a 3 month 1 week deal the 714 is on a yearly deal so am told
