The ones at Stockport are all MCT and bar one or two they will alll be scrapped. KCE wasn’t one of them but a couple more were refurbished when MCT gained KCG last summer and were offered to Stotts to use on 396’s but they refused so I think they were stored at Stagecoach Wigan. |

RE: Diamond Bus North West
Bolton B7RLE 69138 is on the VH2 Walkden circular today, giving more than enough capacity for it’s tiny round trips - another route to go to Bolton operation from Eccles though? |

It still remains in the fleet, picture that surfaced online said the taken date was the date uploaded and not the actual date of the trial which took place last year. --- Thanks Ant Check out my YouTube Channel updated regularly at 18:00 Most Days; https://www.youtube.com/c/apdmediatransp...nel/videos Check out my content on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/envirohunter https://www.flickr.com/photos/envirohunter/albums Updated recently with a trip down to the South Coast in 2021 & Railway Pictures from 2017. |

RE: Diamond Bus North West
Word from a friend at Bolton, Dennis Trident 40014 is currently in the paintshop receiving fleet livery. Minus it's roof! How they can justify restricting the use of a perfectly good bus by open toppering it. While short of buses during a reduced service anyway is beyond me. |

We can not wait to have this out on the road in all its glory." |
