Something that I forgot to mention (sorry!) is that I saw 30803 in Bolton with an engineer driving it the other day near the depot (heading away from it)! It was some time this week, I can't remember the exact day (sorry again!). Is it on loan there, or was it just there for maintenance or something? 66889 is also now back at Wigan. :P

I'am personally hoping that 30803 meets the same fight as 30807 at Oldham, in fact get rid of the whole batch 30802/6. Seriously though its funny you should mention 30803 being sighted near to Bolton Depot. Everyday I am in Bury and you always see one or two from the batch lurking at Bury Interchange, without failure, if you don't see one you see the other. Today though and yesterday, I couldn't help but notice some regular sights were missing. Today it was Just the bendis and B7s And B9s doing 471s, along with the ususal citaros and god awful XDZs. Didn't see any of the 30802/6 batch, and its very unusual not to see them, they work 93, 137, 471,472,474 and sometimes 98s, but not seen a one. Making me think are they all At BN for maintanence as flickr shows although Based at Bury they are no strangers to Weston Street Depot.
