RE: Arriva St Helens - Terence Price - 20 Nov 2013

Glad to see our Last Marshall Capital standing 7634 is still in service, it was on the 31s today

On another note Wright Renown 2702 seems to really lack in the power department these days, had it on the 89 before and it was struggling on flats!


RE: Stagecoach Chester + Wirral - Terence Price - 20 Nov 2013

Was able to catch up with recently Transfered Wright Eclipse MX06 VOT before on the 1, i took it from Liverpool Sir Thomas Street - Birkenhead Bus Station. Sadly it just seemed to lack in the Power Department but hardly rattled and was smooth runner, This Bus has a decent bit of history as when Stagecoach bought out Firsts Wigan Depot this was the first Bus that was repainted into Stagecoach Livery however it still retains Stagecoach Interior.


RE: Arriva St Helens - St Helens Rider - 21 Nov 2013

7634 tends to either be on 31 or 34/34A.


RE: Arriva St Helens - Terence Price - 21 Nov 2013

(21 Nov 2013, 8:22 am)St Helens Rider 7634 tends to either be on 31 or 34/34A.

I cant help but wonder how long its got left as its really outliving the other Marshalls that was based here


RE: Arriva St Helens - St Helens Rider - 21 Nov 2013

Because it is in good condition. As someone who has travelled on most of St Helens Darts for a quite a lengthy journey, I can honestly say it is one of the best at Jackson Street at the moment. The worst I would say are 2249 and 2251.

RE: Merseytravel Timetable Changes - St Helens Rider - 21 Nov 2013

Here's what's changing between 24 - 30 November 2013

1 Liverpool - Chester Quality Bus Network service run by Stagecoach
The times will be changed. The Sunday daytime frequency will be increased to every
20 minutes.

19 Liverpool – Gillmoss or Kirkby
run by Stagecoach
Monday to Saturday daytime and all Sunday buses will be rerouted in Liverpool city centre
to start at Lord Street, which means Cook Street will no longer be served.
Some times will change.

38 West Kirby – New Ferry run by Stagecoach
The route will be changed in West Kirby, so buses coming from New Ferry will run from
Meols Drive to Bridge Road and Orrysdale Road onto Grange Road. This means that
both buses finishing and starting in West Kirby will do so at the same bus stop, opposite
West Kirby station. The times will change.

319 St Helens – Rainford or Ormskirk run by South Lancs Travel
Buses will no longer serve Barrow Nook or Bickerstaffe - the two buses that did will
be retimed.
