North East Buses

60405 has left First manchester for service in Rotheram following DDA MODS also Bolton will loose some of the newer B10bles also to Yorkshire

The following Eclipse 2 13 plates 69566/7/8 69571/2/3 will remain at Bury in definitely as the competition from Rosso continues on the 472/4, although the eclipse 2s have been out on regular Bury Depot Based services

And whats not been advertised is that the £2.40 concession day ticket what is very popular before 09:30 with the concession pass holders is scrapped too and no longer available.

Its an ex supertravel one V262 BNV.

Thanks for letting me know Mark, I was calculating it would have been up by 10p but if it's scrapped, then for my run on the 34 in a morning, it will have to be the single fare which is probably £2.80 by now.

Another scandal in all this is that I have not seen any posters on any vehicle in the run up to this - normally the posters are everywhere. Another sly move is the timing - just when the kids are off, so they will get a shock when they are back in.

Another thought is that this discriminates against Merseyside pass holders going into TfGM area even more. TfGM pass holders only pay £1.60 to travel towards St Helens whereas their Merseyside equivalents will be charged £2.80 - welcome to postcode lottery Britain.

Couldn't identify it but I this morning seen a Marshall on the busway in Runcorn and about 40 mins ago seen it (or another) again. Its a fair bet that it is either 7670, or 7672 but I surpose there is a chance that it could be another.

Do these replace anything?

I dont think its these, both have no Tax or MOT and with most of the batch being withdrawn now i dont think Arriva would tax and MOT any, i guess its 7659 or 7669

Yesterday (07/04/14) I was able to catch up with St Helens last Marshall Standing 7634, I have to admit its a good Bus, nice, fast, comfy, Only thing letting it down is the back suspension bounces when you go over speed bumps!

Interesting to see the re-registration of the 97 - unsure at this point if it is a contract or commercial. Contract is a possibility as parts of Grange Park and Eccleston Park would be unserved otherwise on a Saturday.

I have just found out that the £5 North West saver is no longer Valid into Wrexham! disgusting, prices go up yet the Ticket loses ground...

My guess is that it's because Arriva North West and Arriva Wales are 2 separate divisions - I know they have been split for years but this is the last sign of this link split.
