I understand a couple of Preston Tridents 40630/1 have been repainted at Bolton in new all-over blue school bus livery.

No split of Atherton's fleet is currently showing on latest Rotala fleetlist dated 1st Sept.

Some of Atherton's fleet moved to Eccles in July, as follows:

20157; 20158; 20160; 20166 Atherton - Eccles
30102; 30140; 30141; 30142; 30143; 32220 Atherton - Eccles

The list on West Midlands Buses was incorrect, the buses hadn't moved till yesterday, Indead TfGM Versa's were noted operating out of Atherton last week, as was Streetlite 32220 only yesterday on a 517 Leigh - Middlebrook.

What did transfer in July was several full size saloons to Bolton, namely Volvo B7RLE and MAN/Meridans, that were principally used on 571/2 and 575 services.

What is going to Bolton now is the Optare Solo's used on Leigh and Wigan locals, and ADL Enviro Enviro200.

What is going to Eccles you have listed above but its only actually gone at midnight last night not a month ago.

Also though but not confirmed as going to Preston along with service 635 is all the remaining Scania Saloons.
