Went on it about A month Ago and its seemed alright A bit sluggish and rattled a lot however have been on much worse buses...if this bus has got worse since I last went on it I dont know but obv Arriva think its ok otherwise it would have been pulled well by now

4012 from WY was on a 534 earlier. Loan or move?

Some planned changes to some Arriva services in Bolton scheduled for end of October.

The 537 will be curtailed to run between Bolton and Bromley Cross via Astley Bridge and Bank Top, meaning the service to/from Edgworth would be scrapped. The 538 Monday-Saturday service will no longer serve Bank Top and instead terminate at Egerton. The two services will run half-hourly to continue the 15-minute combined frequency between Blackburn Road and Bolton.

Meanwhile, the 715 will reduce its Monday-Saturday daytime frequency from half-hourly to hourly.

I am not sure if it has been reported yet - apologies if it has - but 4499 was on the 10 last Tuesday at Shudehill in Manchester. It is finally back from repair!

Confirmation of the changes to services 537, 538 and 715 will take place at the end of the month:

It is a real shame that, the 537 was one of my favorite routes too. At the end of the day if only one or two unique passengers were getting on, no wonder it isn't commercially viable.
