I can't wait to get it, but it might only do schools so I will have to try and catch it in the right place at the right time. What do the DB250's normally run on Saturdays?

RE: Arriva North West - Bolton Depot
I expect the Renown to turn up on the Locals and maybe the 715s, as for the DB250's there is normally one out on the 10 Due to the higher than Normal PVR with that road being Shut, they can also be found on the 534, 535s and maybe the 715s

RE: Arriva North West - Bolton Depot
Ok, thanks. I can't get that far on the 535 because of travel boundaries. I hope it turns up on 715's.

RE: Arriva North West - Bolton Depot
It might even turn up on 575/362s as despite the routes being sapphired it seems normal vehicles do turn up on a regular basis.

Not to sure how true what I've heard is but apparently the lease is shortly up on Bolton Depot and apparently Bolton have put in for several school tenders and if they don't get them Arriva wont renew the lease on Bolton Depot and the following will happen:

10s will transfer to Wythenshawe Depot
362/575s will transfer to St Helens

I'm not sure who'll operate the Bolton locals as my reliable informant who used to work at Bolton Depot hasn't told me

RE: Arriva North West - Bolton Depot

I haven't seen 2710 out today or in the depot (passing on 480). I went on 715 as well as watching for 534/5 around Bolton and didn't see it, has anybody else spotted it?

RE: Arriva North West - Bolton Depot
2710 made it onto the 10s today!

2217 has re-entered Service and was on the 534s
