Wythenshawe Wright Pulsar 2 3103 is in on loan to cover for 2464 for clear reasons

3 ex London Presidents have turned up, they are converted and are in Arriva Interurban Livery however they are still not ready for service, When these are complete they will replace the final 3 Surviving DLA's.

It now turns out that Wythenshawes Pulsar 3103 is in fact covering for Boltons MPD 894 thats gone to Wythenshawe, i can only assume one of the Solo's is getting work done to it

Few things to report today

Wythenshawe Wright Pulsar 2 3103 is in fact here to cover for Bolton MPD 894 thats on loan to Wythenshawe as they got a Solo VOR and since the Solo is used on the Stockport Metroshuttle a minibus had to be drafted in

Yesterday DLP 4178 was involved in a minor RTA while on the 715, the damage is that light i expect it to be back in service on Monday

Yesterday Mega Rare sighting DLA 4093 made it out on the 534's all day! This is the first time a Bolton DLA has seen normal service since at least October!
