It makes a refreshing change for Arriva to gain route 484, after they have been losing so much work, including route 79 in July.

I agree, hopefully more tenders are won but i can dream.

in other news 2677 has gone on loan to Winsford Depot and 2563/2565 where both on the 575/362 on the 16/05/15!

What time were you in Wigan yesterday only me and another enthusiast I was with noticed 2563 leaving Wigan on 362 towards Chorley at about 11:45 also considering I'm not out much during the week now you don't happen to know whether 575s are back interworking with 362s again now only with all the bridgeworks on 575 I was led to believe they were being run as seperate routes

RE: Arriva North West - Bolton Depot
Answering my own question here 575/362s are actually still being operated as 2 seperate services and still will be until Blackrod bridge reopens to traffic which is should be in about 2 weeks time from what I was told by a friend of mine at Arriva Bolton yesterday

RE: Arriva North West - Bolton Depot
Just to let you know that Blackrod railway station bridge reopened at 1915 h on Friday 15th May so really the 575 should be back to normal ( and the Diamond bus 576 and 517/518) - certainly the traffic was a breeze this morning! Don't know if the interworking has recommenced yet
