It's actually being withdrawn on 24th July - details on VOSA thread. Definitely agree they have killed this service off. Wonder if Diamond Bus will increase the full route to every 30 minutes to compensate. |

Definitely a waste on a route that can only be described as dwindling. |

I think it was partially funded by the green bus fund if memory serves me right. |

If the latter, there is normally a guarantee that such buses would stay in Greater Manchester for five years. The whole batch of 44 Volvo B5LHs were purchased with Green Bus Funding I would have thought 3126-35 will be the only Pulsars that go to Bolton personally but it won't be long before we find out |
