RE: First Manchester - WrightRenown21107 - 06 Mar 2014

I have just found out that Bolton depot have bendy Renowns back in service does anyone know how many they have and how long they're in service for?


RE: First Manchester - WrightRenown21107 - 06 Mar 2014

Though the person who posted the photos seems dodgy so i am not sure can anyone confirm so i know if its true or a lie?


RE: Arriva St Helens - WrightRenown21107 - 06 Mar 2014

I have heard that withdrawn Marshall Dart 7625 could be bound for Yorkshire Tiger

It will be a lie as theres no service they could put it on after the 8 and 582 trail failed

In other news a shocking repaint is B6BLE Wright Crusader 40440 T704 PND has been repainted into the new Livery!!


RE: First Manchester - WrightRenown21107 - 06 Mar 2014

Well apparently a second person reported a bendy on 582 but i ain't believing it till its confirmed by someone i know that i can believe, hmm they must be staying for a lot longer then


RE: JPT - Y961 XBU - 06 Mar 2014

JPT have a special offer going at the moment, 2 quid for a Day saver, it covers all routes (what little they have left anyway!)

By chance am in Bolton Tomorrow anyway, if there is one out there i will find it! the chances are slim tho as they have already tried this once and it failed.


RE: JPT - WrightRenown21107 - 06 Mar 2014

Are they still only running the 118 and 156?

RE: Halton Transport - HaltonMiniMarshall - 12 Mar 2014

Just wanted to note that Haltons back yard has just been faceliffted, so withdrawn #71 and #72
have had to be moved into the other yard. Seen #71 pacing up and down moor lane a few times, expected it to end up on a school service but I haven't seen it. Possibly just letting it losen up a bit, after all hasn't been used for over a year!


RE: Arriva Bolton - Y961 XBU - 13 Mar 2014
