Arriva North West - Bolton Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Bolton Depot
Arriva's 362/575s were being badly affected by various roadworks yesterday so much so that 362s from what I saw were running on their own and not at all interworking with 575s and running pretty much to tiime whereas 575s were encountering gaps of upto 40-50mins between departures from Wigan.

One of the reasons was major resurfacing works on A666 which meant it was closed all day from Bradford Street to Topp Way in Bolton and traffic was having to divert through the town centre, also Bolton were playing at home so extra traffic would have been local roads in/around the ground causing delays through Blackrod and Horwich.

Also added to this 575s are now further diverted from Blackrod and now have to run via Adlington (Lancashire) to get back on route due to Network Rail Electrification works
