Nice to see Bolton taking on more work for a change, also in Leigh which is something different.

I agree Terence its good to see Bolton Depot picking up more late tenders for a change and I wil be looking forward to seeing what they use on them, I'm actually guessing Sapphire Pulsars will be the order of the day although the odd Hybrid decker could make an appearance.

Thinking about it though I'm wondering whether a couple of the Sapphire 575/362s will end up staying out late in Wigan and instead of heading back dead to depot when they get to Wigan that they will stop out on 593/658s instead only time will tell

RE: Arriva North West - Bolton Depot
This one used to be route branded for the 635 right?

RE: Arriva North West - Bolton Depot
If I remember rightly most of the DAF Ikarus Polaris's when new to Bluebus were route branded for their Apperley Bridge services including 635s
