Have 2563/4 arrived at Bolton now and have Darts from WY replaced the DAFs that went back off lease?

in side yard 2251,4065,4027,3618, and 3364

7622 was not in sight and last time i seen that it was far from road worthy also no sign on 2400 so might have gone for scrap and 7552 still not at bolton so looking more likley its withdrawn however am not 100 percent sure

Cheers for that. noticed 2262 was out in service earlier and wondered where 7622 had gone after reading it had come back.

confirmed 7552 is withdrawn, 7556 will join it soon, 7622 is still here and being worked on and 2400 is still here (still for scrap)

2271 was on the 534 this morning and another transfer is 2259 seen going up Blackburn Rd this morning.

Full list of these X reg Darts that I've seen is 2259/61/2/9/70. Presuming these are to replace the leased DAFs?

sounds about right

Theres been lots of ALX400s out at Bolton this week with 2 on 715s today

I knew they would be in service


RE: Arriva North West - Bolton Depot - gilesbus1 - 23/09/2012 12:45

ALX400 S249JUA was noted at Howe Bridge just a few metres away from the former GM Buses depot site Atherton heading towards Bolton on Thursday night being driven by an Arriva engineer so presumably another moved over.
