The following Eclipse 2 13 plates 69566/7/8 69571/2/3 will remain at Bury in definitely as the competition from Rosso continues on the 472/4, although the eclipse 2s have been out on regular Bury Depot Based services

And whats not been advertised is that the £2.40 concession day ticket what is very popular before 09:30 with the concession pass holders is scrapped too and no longer available.

Its an ex supertravel one V262 BNV.

Thanks for letting me know Mark, I was calculating it would have been up by 10p but if it's scrapped, then for my run on the 34 in a morning, it will have to be the single fare which is probably £2.80 by now.

Another scandal in all this is that I have not seen any posters on any vehicle in the run up to this - normally the posters are everywhere. Another sly move is the timing - just when the kids are off, so they will get a shock when they are back in.

Another thought is that this discriminates against Merseyside pass holders going into TfGM area even more. TfGM pass holders only pay £1.60 to travel towards St Helens whereas their Merseyside equivalents will be charged £2.80 - welcome to postcode lottery Britain.

Couldn't identify it but I this morning seen a Marshall on the busway in Runcorn and about 40 mins ago seen it (or another) again. Its a fair bet that it is either 7670, or 7672 but I surpose there is a chance that it could be another.

Do these replace anything?

I dont think its these, both have no Tax or MOT and with most of the batch being withdrawn now i dont think Arriva would tax and MOT any, i guess its 7659 or 7669

Yesterday (07/04/14) I was able to catch up with St Helens last Marshall Standing 7634, I have to admit its a good Bus, nice, fast, comfy, Only thing letting it down is the back suspension bounces when you go over speed bumps!
