RE: First Manchester - Damien - 17 Dec 2013
(17 Dec 2013, 12:01 am)Terence Price Oldham Dart 40406 S280 SBA was on the 149 16/12/13, was stood in North Manchester General Hospital when it showed up displaying 000 Middleton so it has missed out the Tendered part of the route! am sure this is also a rare sighting! one more thing i noticed is that is said Wigan on the Reg Plate.
Many moons ago this was a Wigan Bus it's also been at Bury in a past life as well, hence Wigan on the reg plate and yes, it's a rare sighting usually B9s B7s And citaros with E400s every now and again on these
Also technically this is still only loaned to Oldham from first pioneer, although there is doubt it will return there

RE: Arriva Bolton - Terence Price - 18 Dec 2013
Got a big update:
Wright Pulsar 1 2682 was just a loan to Runcorn Depot and returned Sunday
Daf Ikarus 2563 is due to get P+P soon
Daf Ikarus 2564 is due to be going out of the firm to get some Engine work done
with the Ex London Presidents starting to go into Service this means DLA's are starting to be withdrawn, the ones remaining are:
4026,4027,4031,4031,4058,4063,4065,4074 and 4093
The following Presidents are now in service:
4170,4171,4173,4174 and 4176
not forgetting that the DLA's and Presidents are both for schools (however they do get out when Boltons short)

Have read today from a reliable source that this operator has ceased trading today. Lancashire County Council has cancelled their contract on the 80. I am sure more details will follow.

Classic Bus North West was the commercial operating arm of Lancastrian Transport Trust who owned a selection of Blackpool Trams, hence BTO's interest in the story.
