It's also worth noting that Metrobus (Crawley) 6784-6 are working in Bolton.

The surprise sighting however was YX63LKV, formerly First Bus 44560 which was last operating in Slough up to about 6 months ago. It didn't display any legal ownership. The top half of the vehicle was still in First livery, but the bottom - or at least the sides - were red. It was being used as the staff shuttle. Perhaps it's intended for conversion to a trainer.

Had a trip to Wigan/Bolton/Bury today and managed to get 5488 & 5490 (already have 5493/5494/5498) so just 5491/5495/5496 remaining, as I've not seen any evidence that 5492 is actually down here despite appearing in the fleet list on bustimes. YX63LKV (4560) was around today, YX63LLE (4565) was on the 635 in Wigan, and YX63LKZ (4562) was in Bury on the 95/98......
