Scrapped, certainly has a devastating ring to the word.

Not even a good replica. No green lights on either side of destination board and not even a Wigan registration EK or JP

Built by Northern Counties

Not a WIGAN bus, only the livery.

Good grief Pete! They couldn't have done every details to standard, for one, this bus wouldn't have even existed in the days of Wigan Corporation.
FirstBus did a few buses up in the 'local' livery, the Leigh one was green and gold and they also did Bolton.

They never did a 'Leigh' one. The green and cream bus was in the old Salford livery. Eventually, South Lancs painted one of their double deckers in the old BLUE and cream of Leigh.
