607 is now operated by Eccles Depot
683 is now operated by Eccles Depot
X39 *Please Check* May be operated by Eccles Depot short Streetlite seen working this on 27/11/2019
640 *Please Check* May be operated by Eccles Depot - Solo 20677 YJ59GGY seen operating this on 27/11/2019, is this still an Eccles vehicle or has this transferred to Bolton?

Was it just that Wednesday was a particularly bad day for Drivers at Bolton or are these permanent moves, haven't been able to observe any of these or have had no future reports of these since.

Also of interest, seen today in service was Wright Streetdeck SK18 TKX which appears to be some sort of Wrights demo model no doubt Winston will confirm if this has been bought ir if it is just a loan. It was operating a 36 Bolton - Manchester service when seen. (Credit) Photo taken by Nicholas Norton posted Online.

Also can someone please confirm which ADL Enviro Enviro200's have moved to Eccles with recent route changes 31407 has been noted on Eccles routes and has 31408 also gone as this was seen out of service on a short cut in the Atherton area that Eccles former Atherton drivers have been known to use between change overs?

640 is still operated from Bolton Depot as one of the drivers I know at Bolton Depot had them on his duty yesterday as well as 715s.

Also as far as I'm aware X39s are stilll operated by Bolton Depot as I've seen various double & single decks on the route
