Rotala only paid £5.414 million cash for First's Bolton business & depot, the freehold depot alone is worth £4.692 million.

Looks like the X8 is routed along Chorley Old road if only it was a all day service

Is it busy? It's such an odd extension.

Maybe a tourist route given that's the type of route those buses are supposed to be used on?

I can just imagine the top deck being full of tourists snapping photos of Farnworth and posting them on Instagram.

20720 is on the 18 with the Dests displaying Diamond Bus North West, No paper in the window to say its the 18.

Excellent run from on this today. The 'sightseeing' tour around Manchester with the diversions due to Deansgate now being closed and a fast run up to Bolton through Kearsley and Farnworth. Recommended !
