As for a decker on 575, I think it was 3362 was on 17:25 575 Wigan-Bolton on Thursday evening, this only made it as far as St Davids Estate before giving up due to high water temp and oil light being on, also one of the Northern Counties DAFs broke down on Ladybridge Estate on the same afternoon and was being hooked upto one of Robinsons Recovery Trucks when I went past on 715 on my way into Bolton

Michael you never misread as Blue bus had MANS not Dafs. The Dafs are the 3 that went from speke in place of 4000/1/2 and juding by the other MAN i doubt it as they are none standard in the NW Fleet. 2400 only got kept on as it was the reserve vehicle for the 700 even though 9 times out of 10 it was one of the low floor Ikarus

Blue Bus had 1 DAF, I believe this is numbered 2450, I think this is the one thats been NFS for a long long time, but is now showing signs of a revival!
