Many thanks I probably forgot to change it then

Looks good... but the name doesn't quite look straight. I think the "R" is too high.

Arriva Bolton have won the following evening Tenders

501 Johnson Fold - Farnworth
507 Bolton - Harwood
561/562 Bolton - Withins Estate

DLPs 4162 and 4164 have both moved from Bolton to Wythenshawe meaning there are no longer any Deckers at Bolton.

Yep, I think that as well, looks like someone has applied the R wrongly and it hasn't been corrected, also a shame it has to have the Arriva logo cross the front rather than a Ribble logo, and also think the red is too light, felt sure the red was a darker shade than this, as the fleet-name is an early 1970's one and at that time sure the Bristol RE's and Leyland Leopard's were darker! Those would be the then equivalents to the Wright Commander.

Look forward to the Enviro Enviro400 at Bootle and whatever Stagecoach are going to paint into traditional Ribble livery.

Does anyone know where 2596 is today?

Last week when I saw it, it was at work on the 362 between Chorley and Wigan, passing Wigan Infirmary, that's were it is if you don't see it in Bolton.

Does the 362 still interwork with the 575?
