SLT are to make major changes to their Network, they are upping the Temp on the 715 by banging on shorts between Bolton and Ladybridge and the longs will be re routed in Whelley! They are also making a lot of changes to their Bolton locals and Wigan locals and the 300 and 132!

Thanks for your reply Smile

As much as i want to release the news am afraid i cant as its very important whats going on. 2679 and 2688 are also at St Helens having arrived today.

Ex Bangor Commanders 2505,2508 and 2510 all went into service today, 2505 and 2510 went onto the 575/362 (one of them is on lates) and 2508 replaced a broken down bus on the 541 around 10am, 2511 has been here a few days but there is still outstanding work that must be completed before it can enter service.
Today Optare Solo SR 719 and DAF Cadet 2422 where out on the 10A!

Other routes to gain the brand in 2014 include the 575 Bolton-Wigan, 110 Tamworth-Birmingham and the 12 between Rhyl and Llandudno, all different in their make up and areas in which they operate.
