Does anyone have any up to date information, on the remaining Bolton Darts
31920 has a tax disc expiring at the end of the month, so I am wondering if thats it for the arrows then.
Taking into consideration Bolton Depot's new stock arriving
Many of the R-reg Arrows, 31941 for example, have tax disks that expire in 2013. :P I think that maybe all of the P-reg ones will go by the end of summer, with the remaining ones gradually getting withdrawn from then.

Tax discs mean nothing - all First needs to do is to send them off to the DVLA for a partial reimbursement once the buses are declared SORN.

RE: First Manchester - Damien - 25/07/2012 23:58
Sorry to harp back to a previous topic, but 31920 and the other Arrows at Bolton, and not forgetting the points raised over the tax discs. Does it seem likely they will be in service much longer, with the arrival of new buses at BN and OM. They were good buses back in the day, I have no doubt, but that was then.

I can see most, if not all of the P-reg ones going by the end of summer.
