RE: Arriva North West - Bolton Depot
I'd certainly doubt 7621 chances of surviving the cull, seeing it has been excluded from the suggested withdrawals.

I wouldnt be suprised if 2732,2733 and 7621 end up at st helens for the short term as i was told we are still waiting on 3 buses from bolton which hasnt come yet.

also been given a fresh list of buses due to be withdrawn from bolton depot
2454
2474
2559
2560
2562
2563
2564
2565
2732
2733

2464 will be the spare bus and lasts coz its had a lot of recent work done to it including taking 2400's gearbox, on another note i wonder if 2454 has already been scrapped as thats not been seen for a long time now

What route/routes in general would I find 2563 and MAN Mylleniums on?
As I am planning a day in Bolton tomorrow,
Cheers

575s and 715s seem to get the DAFs on quite a lot. A nice selection of Ikarus SB220s and ALX300 DB250s were on the 575s and 715s today!

Heard the 362 has been suspended in part due to a bomb found in Standish again facebook is the source but its the Co-op in Standish where the bomb is.

The Daf Myllenniums will probably end up going to speke as all the rest of the batch are there apart from one solitary example at birkenhead and this is roumoured to be going to speke once the new hybrid geminis enter service.
