Went for the last 132 from The Trafford Centre to Wigan, Ended up with a Solo... Far to small for the route and it left with people standing up and less people caught it than usual as well, The service worked far better when it did not interwork with the 715 and had its regular allocation of Flolines, These Deckers cant come any quicker!

I would always take these things with a pinch of salt, unless journeys start getting cancelled, as happened at Western Greyhound during their driver shortage crisis in late 2014/early 2015. However, the Preston Bus website has had notices advertising for drivers for Diamond Bus North West recently.
