Yep, thats probably what it was.

Was talking to Fairbrothers on their Facebook Page and they have informed me they are also operating the 157 service under contract to Merseytravel.

Fairbrothers are also asking for Service suggestions on their Facebook Page.

Fairbrothers have informed me that they have taken over the operation of the 157 service under contract to Merseytravel, This leaves Warrington Coachways with their 37/38 routes along with their school services and of course their Coach Work!

Il have a check see whats there on saturday as im working out of runcorn depot for the day.

An interesting read about the communities along the Eden Valley.

Daf Ikarus 2563 has returned to Bolton but has not seen service yet

A Bus crashed today while operating the 575 service (so it is almost certainly going to be a Pulsar) no other details as of yet.

Well i was wondering how long it would be until i could report this!

Marshall Capital 7652 broke down at Mid-Day in Liverpool Airport!

Gillmoss SPD 33175 has had to be drafted back into service due to Bus shortage and found its way out on the 21 (Liverpool - Northwood)

Hi, any idea on what Plaxton Darts are left and where please? also how long do the remaining stragglers have left?

Cheers

With the biggest grin possible i can confirm that following a lot of Speculation Wright Axcess Floline V138 DND has gone back out into service to Rock Ferry Depot on routes 1/2 bringing the Floline count to 4 and gut feeling says more Buses will arrive at Rock Ferry within the next few days due to PVR increase in line with service 38 extension!

Was able to catch up with Sole Marshall Capital 7625 today, have to admit it performed very well, to think this Bus was only put into service at Chester as they was short yet its lasted months (and outlived most of its type with Arriva!)

The 10:33 79c service from the Adelphi last night didn't turn up, after about half a hour 2522 went down to Liverpool One and appeared 30 minutes later (also late), found out the earlier one had broke down. Then coming down Wavertree high street, I spot yet another Runcorn cadet broke down! This amounts to a lot of breakdowns this month, can't even blame maintenance as cadets are useless at other depots as well.
