I assume you mean that Bolton Presidents are "not allowed to" run local services (as against school services). I would be surprised if this was the case.
I last visited Bolton on a Sunday in July, and even then there was one on the 575. Previous visits on weekdays always produced at least two on local service off-peak - never mind any peak workings to cover increased running times, which would naturally run off school contracts in the afternoon.
Besides, to prevent over 20% of the allocation from running local service for no good reason smacks of appalling economics.

I think it was 4176 operating the Belmont service last Wednesday during the middle of the day.
