As well as a 7 day service don't forget Diamondbus also have the tendered evening service now so a lot of passengers will be using them now over Arriva.
Also deckers on most 575s wont happen due to the interworking with 362 in Wigan which goes under Coppull railway bridge, not to sure if the duties are still the same but there's only a select few 575s that actually do go to Wigan and back as 575s without going onto 362

They could also become open toppers and be fairly modern replacements for the fleet based at Rhyl and some DLP's have been converted for this use by The Original London Tour.
There is a no age restriction on age work that the Lowlanders do at Bangor, remember they not long replaced P/R reg Volvo Olympians. Rhyl uses 4191 generally on a M to F, P&R for Ysbyty Glan Clwyd Hospital. The 15 year rule is generally for tendered services on Merseyside but the company aim to cull most stock when it reaches 15 years old. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Service 537 on VOSA for Cancelation from 30th Aug, Apparently the 715 change is the Service getting cut back to run Bolton - Westhoughton only

In the papers today is confirmation that Services 535 Bolton - Belmont and 537 Bolton - Andrew Lane are to be Withdrawn from 30th Aug. I dont know how the 535 has lasted this long as you where lucky to pick anyone up between Belmont and The Pineapple (Where the 535 joins up with the 534 and 537) As for the 537 Passenger numbers have dropped very quickly over the last 2 Years as back then Andrew Lane had 4 Buses an hour, an Hourly 537 Service and a 20 min 538 Service

Due to go anyway, so no surprise and another dart thankfully bites the dust.
