No it heading towards the Manor. Seen it when I was the 34.

it did the 9:05 of Sutton Heath today so sadly i missed it as i thought it was the 8:55 of Sutton Heath.

In other news 2729 is apparently to move to Southport, i would like it if people see 2729 working out of St Helens could they please post it here?

Cheers.

RE: Network Warrington
i am fuming to report that Network Warrington are to introduce a fare increase from February 7th, Here comes one of my rants:

Adult Day saver is now £5!
I think this is a joke as Network Warrington are getting smaller not bigger and if you live on an Arriva Route you can get one of their Day savers for 4 pounds 80 and is valid on a hell of a lot more services!

OAP day saver 4!
Am sorry but Arriva do the same ticket for around 2 pounds 70!

you now also have to pay 50p to take a dog onto a Bus!! this is a joke as i have never seen a firm charge a dog a fare yet!

These price increases now make Network Warrington the highest priced Bus operator in the North West! i bet anyone who have a 2nd option will make a switch as these prices are just not acceptable!

RANT OVER!!
RE: Arriva St Helens
(30 Jan 2014, 12:36 pm)St Helens Rider wrote I believe 2729's move is to replace 2725 - so a like for like replacement. Personally I would have been happier losing a Dart or a Pulsar than a Volvo - they are among the best vehicles at St Helens.

Very much agreed! why do we have to up one of our best buses for Southport Depot? what makes them better than us? we make more of a profit than them!

I do agree there mate. Just to clarify, Arriva's Concessionary Day Saver is £2.40.

Right thanks for that mate, really they should be trying permotional fares on services there is competition to try and win back customers but instead they are just out pricing themselves to other firms (Fairbrothers, Warrington Coachways, Arriva and First!)

(30 Jan 2014, 12:43 pm)Y961 XBU wrote 4206 still out and is doing the 12:35 from St Helens - Sutton Mannor

Looks like it went AWOL then around 1500 as I was waiting for it in St Helens (should have been the 1459 towards Suttin Heath), waited until just after 1510 and with no sign of 4206, I caught the next 33 which was a very cold 2800.

RE: Arriva St Helens

4 ex london deckers are parked up at round the back of st helens them being
LJ51 OSX / ORG / DLY / DJE.
RE: Network Warrington
I think arriva st helens should extend the 34A to warrington from earlstown bus stn and have the 20 serve acorn st and bradley rd and the 34 to continue to warrington on an evening and sundays to take advantage of network warringtons fare increase and to have a 5-7 minute service between winwick church an warrington and take the 22 service passengers.
