i thought the WF version of the Streetlite had been axed. Wishful thinking i guess!

A load of 12 plate Enviro400's & a couple of Gemini's have been VOR'd & will be prep'd for return to First early over the next few weeks.
DBNW sole WF Streetlite is for Eccles, numbered 20173
Fleet Numbers are here to save typing them out.

It's been reported elsewhere that loaned Enviro400s 33657 and 33710/2/3/8 have transferred to First South Yorkshire

I'm posting on behalf my friend
My friend spotted on Monday the 20th April as Ex First Manchester on the Route 2 Bolton - Monton - Trafford Centre operating through Leigh Bus Station displaying the said route on the Destination Blind.
My friend was so confused as why there was different route operating over the 126 Leigh - Trafford Centre run and she couldn't believe her eyes.
I don't know the time but I just know when it happened.

The Diamond buses I've seen on route 197 last Sunday and other routes in Stockport on Tuesday have been indigenous Solos. They may well have had sufficient buses allowing for service reductions around Bolton & Wigan not to need to acquire any stock for these extra routes.

Do Rotala have enough vehicles at Bolton for when the PVR eventually gets back to normal, I am a bit confused with some of the First Enviro400s going back to First before its known whats happening with the StreetDecks as I dont think there is enough vehicles at Bolton for the Full PVR.

Right now, there is lower PVR so why pay lease payments on buses you aren't using. It's quite short sighted.

Can we all be a bit mindful of what we post in this thread please. I do not mind discussions regarding the events of today, but just be careful of what is posted. I will be monitoring this thread.
Thanks
