Its been at Atherton since April operating the 597, though it has ventured onto other routes probably nights and Sundays when it does

From 28th October the 33 Tender from Manchester to Wigan is Withdrawn, Its replacement is an Eve/Sun Tendered 132 Service between Wigan and The Trafford Centre, I am not sure if this 132 will be operated by Diamond Bus but am sure we will soon find out
RE: Diamond Bus North West - St Helens Rider - 29/06/2018 07:11
Apart from the 113, the 33 is/will be Wigan's last bus link to any city although of course there are trains to Manchester but given Northern's recent/current performance, it's hardly the last word in reliability.

Citaro 33007 has turned up in Altrincham this morning, bizarre!
RE: Diamond Bus North West - M60lad - 06/07/2018 06:05
If this is the same one that's based at Atherton then I wonder whether Atherton were covering a duty again on Altrincham locals, I don't know how many Atherton drivers actually know Altrincham routes but I know one of their leading driver's does and has covered the late duties regular in the past.
