How far up is it before they leave the S1 boundary?

System One travelcards.

Assuming you are asking because you intend having a ride up there, then note the timetables change on 26th October, and one of them (534, iirc) is slashed to every 30 minutes. Indeed, that cut in itself could make a significant difference to the use of Presidents off-peak, so I suggest you make your trip up there in the next fortnight!

Ok, thanks. Where does the border end? According to the TFGM map (6) 535 crosses the TFGM boundaries and disappears off the map.

There was at least one President out yesterday as it was allocated to one of the daytime trips on 715 in lieu of the usual MPD that gets used daily on 715s

Belmont is actually part of Lancashire but is included in the System One network, along with some other neighbouring towns and villages in Cheshire, Lancashire and Derbyshire such as Bacup, Glossop, Poynton and Wilmslow.

The President was 4174 and the MPD on the 715 was 892. Little and Large!!
Also non-Sapphire Pulsars 2677 and 2682 are both out yesterday on the 575/362 at Wigan.

Just seen 2560 V34 ENC being towed for PVS Barnsley this afternoon through Tintwistle, Glossop.

Supposedly this bus was in passenger service here sometime ago?

This had been stored at Wrexham with 2561/2 for around 12 months

Noted on the Winsford thread that MPD 894 has gone there with another due to go this week. Does anyone know if these are being replaced with anything at Bolton?
