At the beginning of last week Arriva took over route 300 (Stockport free town service) from Stagecoach. so far it has used Solos 669. 670 and 679. I think it is operated by Wythenshawe but I could not find a thread for Arriva Wythenshawe garage so I am putting the news here instead.

I've heard from a Duty Manager at Bolton Depot that they know nothing about 300 Metroshuttle Service in Stockport so this convinces me that at least 3 of the Solos have been transferred from Bolton-Wythenshawe Depot, also out of interest why would Bolton send 3 buses all the way from Bolton-Stockport and back every day, makes no sense when Wythenshawe Depot is closer.

Bolton only got 660-5/7/8 from Manchester for the Salford routes with 669/70/79 going direct to Wythenshawe for the 300.
