Diamond Bus North West

RE: Diamond Bus North West
That must be it then, I know Atherton had been mostly cleared by Wednesday and very little was based in the yard.

Streetlites in Preston livery and a couple of Solo's from Preston were also used, so I guess perhaps they were also involved. Also one of the large Solo's, in Preston livery was noted heading towards Atherton one day last week. Bolton town routes operated by Bolton moved over on the week commencing 12th August, in dead Wigan has been largely absent of full size vehicles since then and it did make sense as the 571/2 pass the side of Bolton and the 575 is closer to Bolton depot obviously.

I believe one MAN is now SORN - PF09LCL, but the other two plus all but one of the Wright/Plaxton bodied Volvo B7RLE's moved over at the same time, indeed 575 Volvo's have been seen on such routes as 36's/37's, 8's, and 582's during the last week with Bolton crews driving them.

Sorry if there has been any misunderstanding, that wasn't my intention.
