The same could be said of 40416 the last of its type still earning its keep at Oldham Depot, its certainly outlasted all the rest of the Crusader Darts at Oldham Depot, not sure how long its got left though

Can anyone confirm if 63104 been given back to Rusholme from its Dukinfield loan? I thought I saw it on Friday afternoon in Didsbury.

Yesterday 30957 in Rochdale on the 6 Kirkholt and later 30962 there on the 58. Seen within 30 minutes of each other. 34098 was on the 81 Derker seen later in the day at Shudehill. Looked very tired alongside the Enviro200s.

Bolton depot has launched "Rivvy Rider" gold brand for the 575 service between Bolton and Horwich using B7RLEs with Gold lining and fleetnames. Those seen so far are:

69150
69157
69159
69172
69174

Also 69169 has gold lining but also gold "Greater Manchester" skylines rather than Rivvy Rider.

I'm presuming this is in response the Arriva's soon to be launched 575 "Sapphire" rebrand? I must admit though, I would have thought a brand new livery from First would have been in order tbh. The gold seems a bit lost on the pale standard livery. Maybe a Bolton Transport livery but in the corporate style??

Not much of a response i think,looks very low key (unless they plan to add more over the coming weeks) https://www.flickr.com/photos/63797212@N...otostream/
compared to Arrivas Sapphire livery.
