Of these, at least 20675/20810/11/31 have since been in service at Bolton. I've physically seen both 20675/20811 on the 533 this week and 20810/31 are tracking on Bolton routes on Bus Times. This is before the phantom fleet changer moves back the update I’ll make on the Quack fleet list. I noticed someone has already made assumptions and withdrawn a raft when some are officially in reserve.

The following is the Eccles allocation which came from Simon Dunn, it includes 31407 too but this has not been tracked in service since 5th April so may move at a later date:

Also, 69145/53 are the latest to be given Preston livery and are fully lettered up.

Find this strange I didnt think Bolton would want older vehicles unless Eccles need newer vehicles for tenders.
