What did transfer in July was several full size saloons to Bolton, namely Volvo B7RLE and MAN/Meridans, that were principally used on 571/2 and 575 services.

What is going to Bolton now is the Optare Solo's used on Leigh and Wigan locals, and ADL Enviro Enviro200.

What is going to Eccles you have listed above but its only actually gone at midnight last night not a month ago.

Also though but not confirmed as going to Preston along with service 635 is all the remaining Scania Saloons.

The list on the WM Bus site was from taken from Rotala Group offical fleet list dated early August, so it's that which was updated prematurely.

Bolton wasn't even under Rotala control until 11th August, so the 571/2 & 575 routes plus buses didn't move during July.
