Thanks for that confirmation SF07. I presume the same subsidised/commercial arrangement applies on the 553 (Leigh - Boothstown - commercial, Boothstown - Bolton - subsidised).

Found a photo of a 07-plate Solo (47470) in Rochdale today. I imagine it might be that. Was based at Stockport but was recently used at Sharston depot on the 84 temporary shuttle service.

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Yeah that's the one - I recognise the driver Smile
He seemed to spend most of the day parked on the back wall in a First bay even though there are two free spaces at the end, and stand P is used for parking too...

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Slightly oddish working of the day yesterday was of 22151 which was on 553 Bolton-Leigh driven by a female (possibly former Maytree) driver, I caught the 14:30 service from Bolton which arrived and left Bolton about 10 minutes late, apparently according to the driver she was having problems getting the long MAN round some parts of the route hence why she was late

Also noticed 47002 which was out on 544 service

Not to sure whether it's going to a permanent thing but Stagecoach Manchester had 2 of their City Center Inspectors based up at Bolton Bus Station for most of the day yesterday keeping an eye on things also its the first time I've actually seen their Inspectors in Bolton tbh
