- @TrCREATIVE:
Not done: the sentence that is referenced reads "Bolton Sixth Form College comprises the Town Centre Campus and Farnworth Campus." Your new source does not mention Farnworth campus. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:14, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
Thanks. I wasn't citing the copy, it's in the link of references (Not under the Education section), number 91. It's currently using the Web Archive link. The new link is https://www.bolton-sfc.ac.uk/student-life/travel/
