40705 appears to have the orange destys fitted with the screen on the top deck being next to the stairs rather than above the windscreen

Anyway, the service has a timetable change from 31st Jan so I wonder if this is another express route which Diamond are trying to start (like the X8)

There are a few photos of Diamond Buses operating the X39 prior to Lockdown. If memory recalls the route was suspended in March at the start of Lockdown

There was a 70 plate 163 branded Streetdeck broken down down the side of Argos heading into Bolton this afternoon. Presume electrical issue as the fitters had the batteries out on the floor!

Route 18 seems to use mainly TfGM leased single-decks on route 18 rather than their own Solos.

Yes seems to be regular thing since the routes out of Shudehill changed. Do still get the odd one on there and the 126/132 Branded Streetlites have also been putting in an appearance.

69141/8/51/4/5/60-3/7-70/2/3/4 is the full list at Potteries with 69213 from Doncaster. These are to replace the early Enviro300s
