Big issue with the site is it’s got far too office space and the yard although it looks big some of the area isn’t suitable for parking so it would require some groundwork to make suitable. Other issue is knotweed!

There’s lots of rumours that Diamond are looking to move Eccles over to Bolton and run everything from there (as they have the space), either sell the Eccles yard or return it to goodwins (never found out if they own or rent the yard), but in all honesty the Eccles yard is a dump.

None of the rumours above have any truth in them including Eccles moving in to Bolton, Diamond looking to takeover former MCT Travel depot. Eccles yard is also owned, as Rotala acquired next-door & knocked a building down to expand the parking area.

The next batch of Streetdecks are to upgrade the 163 & are branded:

The latest batch should be 40775 thru 40789
