RE: Arriva Runcorn - HaltonMiniMarshall - 22 Jan 2014
There was a decker parked in the back at around 10:00am toaday, couldn't positively identify what type or fleet number as I got little more than a 2 second glimpse as I was on the adjacent expressway but it looked to me like a Wright Gemini body, ironic that I talked about deckers at Runcorn on another thread several days ago.
RE: Arriva Runcorn - arrivaman - 22 Jan 2014
The ones from speke are getting some warranty work done and are getting done in runcorn depot thats if its the newer geminis.

RE: Fairbrothers - Y961 XBU - 23 Jan 2014
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.
RE: Warrington Coachways - Y961 XBU - 23 Jan 2014
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!
