TFGM Hybrid Optare Versa YJ61 JGF, YJ61 JGO and YJ60 KCZ have joined the fleet from Tyrers. TFGM Solo YJ60 KCO has also transferred.

JGF and JGO were also previously at Cumfybus and Maytree Travel (as was YJ11 ELU) so are now with their 4th operator of the 512 and 513 routes.

So Vision's TFGM fleet now stands at 10 hybrids (and I think they've still got an old yellow school bus or two):
YJ60 KCC - Optare Solo M820SR H
YJ60 KCK - Optare Solo M820SR H
YJ60 KCN - Optare Solo M820SR H
YJ60 KCO - Optare Solo M820SR H
YJ60 KCZ - Optare Versa V970H
YJ11 ELU - Optare Solo M890SR H
YJ11 ENT - Optare Versa V970H (Bolton Metroshuttle Livery)
YJ11 ENU - Optare Versa V970H (Bolton Metroshuttle Livery)
YJ61 JGF - Optare Versa V970H
YJ61 JGO - Optare Versa V970H

BVT is the other. Not seen anything online to suggest these are on the road yet? But that could be due to lockdown obviously.

It has been announced in local media that the bolton metroshuttle service is to be stopped in april due to declining passenger numbers. Not one of the major operations for the company but an often overlooked aspect

Shame to loose the service, however not inevitable, most of the route is served by a number of services, so those who needs the connection still have alternative routes

Doesnt suprise me to be honest. As one of the only areas in Manchester (The other being stockport (If they still have their service)) outside of the city centre to have a free bus it was always a matter of time. I have always felt that Bolton town centre is very much all close together anyway. Since the new bus station has opened I have felt it was more inevitable than ever to see it go.
