I don't really see it. Speke are supposed to be receiving the 12 surplus Enviro400s from Birkenhead once their hybrids are up and running, which presumably would allow a number of the Myllenniums to leave. It seems unlikely to me they'll accept 2456 or any of Bolton's at this stage.

If Speke do receive the Enviros from Birkenhead I can see both the earlier batch originally from Birkenhead and the trio at Bolton being transferred into Green Lane which will replace a number of Marshall Darts for resale/scrap. Highly unlikely deckers are coming to Green Lane as was once rumoured.
RE: Arriva North West - Bolton Depot - H101GEV - 16/02/2013 19:59
I agree. St Helens is another potential destination for the Myllenniums. There are a few T-reg Darts still plugging away there in both Plaxton and Marshall flavours which were earmarked for withdrawal before the turn of the year.

T reg darts are getting removed as and when the MOT's run out or if they get a major fault,then the marshalls may go towards the end of the year.

Good old 7533 P-MBU Dart is outliving most of its newer sisters in service in Bangor so it just shows what abit of tlc and money can do

Agreed, this example just makes a mockery of this daft 15 year rule that Arriva North West & Wales in particular seem to stick to, just shows that if a bus is looked after properly it can live on.

2998 has a freshly etched window on the 362

4016 and 4017 was reported here on the 20th, looking only to be loans due to the among of deckers VOR

bolton got their hands on a B10 strider now for training, cant make out what the reg is on the photo but it looks to be L302 TEM
RE: Arriva North West - Bolton Depot - james solomon - 26/02/2013 13:05
So bolton are getting an additional training bus alongside 8232? and L302TEM is with Speke
