It may take a while for all of the movements and eventual withdrawals to take place. I was impressed they managed to move all of the buses down for transfer yesterday morning, minus the ones that aren't able to move!

I believe all of the other Lime B10s are out in service today, which suggests 8272/73 weren't ready to be put into service (either CLS hasn't done their checks on them or they'll be giving drivers familiarisation with them before putting them out).

I thought I saw one of the Cadets parked up in the area by the ramps yesterday afternoon when I drove past.
Could have been mistaken though, hence not mentioning it.

Aye, don't think many Chester drivers will have driven a Cadet before, unless they came from a depot that did.

I said to my mate Andrew a few years back about possible cascades for 27 when they had cadets and I said that 71 would do with Cadets also in my opinion I think cadets would handle 9 route really well I've been on a cadet in the past on 9 it was white back then it is now a Northern bus via drifter colour back in them days me and my bestie Ryan before I met one of my other besties Paul said 27 would work well with citaros and his uncle is a bus driver at Deptford
