Maybe, though I prefer to listen to sales information published on operators websites.

Though looking at the evidence Bolton bolts on nicely to their territories in that Transdev also has a major share of the market in Bury and Rochdale, the fact that they have looked previously at the mothballed Bury depot but then felt unable to buy it may change as besides the Rosso vehicles at Rochdale there is also a certain percentage of route in Bury operated from Bolton which would therefore possibly make re-opening Bury depot a viable option. Another thing Transdev may like is the Leigh Guided Busway (Vantage) as they gain experience, that they might be able to use in Leeds should they wish and be able to do.

Oldham as I've said above is a different kettle of fish.
