Not sure what has gone wrong with the 575 Bolton Horwich route this afternoon , bus tracker suggests 2 buses along entire route and since my Son waited nearly 50 minutes at the interchange ( on a 15 min service) maybe major breakdown or diverting buses to other routes? Hopefully arriva continue to run this route!

Also problems on 582 (Leigh / Bolton) today, due to roadworks. Took 20 minutes to get past temporary traffic lights at Hulton Lane Ends, with long gaps between buses in opposite direction.

Three more Streetdecks have arrived in Bolton today. They'll be sent out into service next week.

I wonder how many of these StreetDecks Bolton are getting Rotala seem to be getting new vehicles fairly quickly.

Those StreetDecks were initially ordered by First for Leeds but I understand they were rejected once built - hence why they're arriving at Bolton so quickly. I don't know how many of them Diamond are planning to acquire but I personally wouldn't be surprised if all of that batch ended up at Bolton at some point

Do we know why Leeds rejected them??

Someone as stated they where rejected due to build quality etc.

Not sure if acquired or just on loan (Can anyone confirm?) but Streetlite Demo SK17HHL is at Bolton.


RE: Diamond Bus North West - Y458 KNF - 24/08/2019 12:51

Could anyone confirm if 32304 has turned up at Bolton from Preston?
