Bolton only has 4 step vehicles that are the four S/T reg Olympians that were moved over from FSY and repalced the remaining older Arrows. The rest of the fleet is low floor and has been for over a year now and nothing has been shipped out to Scotland or Yorkshire since the B7RLEs entered service back in 2006!!! The none overground routes were the mainstay of the Darts, then the Scanias (still 10 in service) and more so the B7RLEs of which there are 61 of these and only 10 of these now need repainting. The average age of the fleet at Bolton is 4.7years now but people still moan and hark back to the "good old days". I've knocked First over the years for many a reason but I do believe things have changed for the better. The fleet, especially at BN has never been in better shape!! The 501 btw is now the mainstay of the new Enviro300s. |
