RE: Arriva St Helens - Terence Price - 10 Nov 2013
Optare Solo SR 721 was replaced by same type 714 on the 33 today as it was leaking fuel!
RE: Hattons Travel - St Helens Rider - 10 Nov 2013
Y557 XAG on 121/122 today/tonight - a surprise allocation for a Sunday.
RE: JPT - Terence Price - 10 Nov 2013
A very strange addition to the fleet is Northern Counties Palatine 2 S148 KNK that was last with Arriva The Shires, Very odd as JPT was almost fully low floor!
GHA Coaches - Terence Price - 11 Nov 2013
from Saturday GHA will run the X22 Service that runs from Winsford - Liverpool. Wonder what Buses they will use as Howards used to use a lot of different types of High Floor Buses!

RE: Arriva St Helens - St Helens Rider - 13 Nov 2013
I don't know but iI'd say it's probably one of the best Darts at St Helens - certainly bettet than some of the horrors that have been acquired over the last few months. In fact I had a decent journey back this afternoon in 2417 - first time in a while I've seen the X AJA's on the 34/34A.
