Id be very suprised if 2800 was yo return as st helens didnt want it the first time it was here so they will be a bit upset if it was to return.

Not been much trouble at Bolton. Would make sense though for the three Volvos to move.

360 route might only come after crimbo as there is argument of what buses are to come and VOSA reg has not happened

it also looks like we are only getting 6 buses for the 360 now not 8 the 2 OBN darts and 4 HJA darts since 2560 ect and 2454 and 2474 have been rejected according to what i been told but again they want newer buses as an attempt to gain more passengers between wigan and platt birdge

RE: Arriva North West - Bolton Depot
well the 360 move is going well..... NOT! most of the drivers that was coming have now dropped out, theres about 3 coming now and it looks like the HJA/OBN darts are coming

in other news 2464 is back on the road sounds like its got 2400's gearbox in it also 2561 is apparently not on the bolton fleetlist whereas 7622 still is and apparently 2560/1/2 will find new homes in jan

RE: Arriva North West - Bolton Depot
2561 is now back on the fleetlist but 7622 is not however am told 2561 will still not see service here, 7622 is apparently getting a new engine so i dont have a clue why its no longer on the list unless its for another depot
