I can beat that. I had Leyland Olympian/NC Palatine 3806 (F106UEF) one evening, when Chester had absolutely nowt else to send! I was sharp brought back to reality, as DAFs became a regular occurrence on there shortly after that...

I would say that I think the service has grown since them days do you knot think?

You get a decent load on sections of the route, but it's certainly not a service you see standees on.
