Looked shiny and still had full white destination screens all round whereas all the other have been swapped to orange. I did see one of them with the white screens today. |

According to Bus Times 40705 hasnt tracked since 7 June when it was allegedly on 37. Other news from Diamond is that apparently Eccles are running 607 Ashton-in-Makerfield Circular and this past week Mellor Sprinter 21200 has been regularly used on the service with a Solo taking its place on 217 and before anyone queries this I've checked Bus Times and it shows the first working leaving Eccles Depot in the morning and running via M62/M6 to get to Ashton. The only services Bolton Depot operate in Wigan area now are 635 Wigan-Apperley Bridge and the evening/late 575 Bolton-Wigan routes. |

When I first started in IT 43 years ago, we used the acronym GIGO (Garbage in - garbage out) to justify the fact that the computer isn't to blame for most failures, rather the data provided is at fault. So it is with bustimes. Because it depends on the ticket machine to provide the data, and ticket machines are programmed manually then interchanged between vehicles, that element of reporting is never going to be perfect. Remember that it's primarily intended for Mrs.Smith at the bus stop to check where her bus is now. She doesn't much care which bus it is ! The enthusiast spin-offs are only secondary. |

Not to sure but according to Bustimes Wright Streetdeck 40715 is now at Preston last tracked on 27 November though so it might have left the fleet now. Other news is that Diamond Northwest Streetdeck 40700 has now been repainted partly into fleet livery at the front with the rest of the bus in an advert livery for charity Once Upon a Smile which Diamond Northwest are going to be in partnership with from next year. |
