We have now extracted all the value out of the vehicles.  So we are looking to remove a number of them

After checking with someone at Diamond, I'm told there's been a road closure on the route around Locarno Road/Central Avenue, so it was diverted, and that would've been the easiest place to turn around. The 42 was also diverted today.

It is salter road that is closed central avenue and locarno road are not the 42 and 22 both go up salter road 42 is diverted up and down upper church lane and then up Locarno road doesn't explain what the 22 was doing at the train station

Can I thank publicly again the driver of 32238 (and the passenger who handed it in!) for rescuing my bag, when I accidentally left it on the 31 earlier!

Had to wait for the bus to come back from Mossley, to ask him.

If the driver does know the person who handed it in,  can he pass on my thanks again, it was much appreciated.

Hi Simon, couple of questions from me.  What's the status of these at Bolton? Most haven't tracked for months so wondered if they are off the road for a specific reason?

20856
30006
30019 (still in Signature livery)
30030 (painted in Preston Bus livery)
30856
30860
30976
32305 (don't think it's been out since repaint)
33010
33015
33024
33030
33033
40713

Also, some of the ticket machines in the Solos at Eccles don't seem to be tracking correctly. At least 20726 and 20795 are in service but tracking as others. Just think they all need checking.

Are 20185, 20918/21 permanent transfers to Preston?

Noticed at least 5 ex First B7Rles have now been painted into Preston livery and are being used in service at Bolton, do you know which others will be painted and when they'll transfer over?

Thanks in advance as always 😊

Thank you.  I have passed onto the Operations Manager to thank the driver
