No, it was on a promotional tour. See DBNW's Facebook page / Twitter site

The new Bolton services showing up this morning on the Bus Tracker. Looks like some Streetdecks are out today on the 8, 37, 163 and 471 routes. A Citaro is out on the 36. A mixture of First and Diamond B7s on the 561/562 and 582. First Enviro400s making up the majority of the rest of the routes today.

Some of the streetdecks haven't even had the protective wrapping off the floor removed following delivery.

From Diamond NW Twitter:
Quote:We've had a couple of internal reports suggesting that some buses aren't appearing on the app/ website tracker.
We've been looking into this all morning, and finding ways to get everythign back on the map.
All services are running, however there are a few delays to the #DBNW471 and #DBNW8 services.
We've had a few niggles on our first day in #Bolton, but things are looking very promising.

A Streetdeck has already been vandalised on it's first day in service:

Adam Evans Diamond Bus North West it was 40701. Shame as it’s the first time the 163 has seen new buses in a long time!

For anyone Intrested, I found a updated Diamond Bus North West showcasing all the movements over the weekend and what vehicles have come to help.
Is okay to post fleet lists here. for everyone who dosen't want to go through the very long list of Diamond Buses. The fleet list in question is on UK Buses
