2625 and 2626 have arrived with I believe 2623 to follow.
3 DB300 Wright Geminis coming from Speke on Sunday 20/12/15 possibly 4476 - 4478 tbc.
Buses removed from fleet are 2267, 2272, 2447.
Buses to be removed are 2498, 2499, 2500, 2501, 2502, 2503, 2515, 2516, 4216.
The Wright Geminis are to be allocated to the 84 Chesters with the Commanders going on to the 84 shorts.
4215 will probably be a substitute for the other Geminis. This is the current plan but now doubt that the b7's will also feature as substitutes.
Could be an interesting time coming up with Routemaster going on the route also along with D&G on the shorts.

4476 and 4478 made their debuts on the 84 this morning with 4477 being pushed out on the 8's as a substitute.
2625 and 2626 are unfortunately broken already with 2626 being abandoned since friday outside the depot unable to start and 2625 having gearbox problems.
2500 is supposed to be going to Runcorn this week.
2616 will be off for a while as it dramatically failed this morning on the 29A with a thrown piston.

2623 was picked up from Wythenshawe and arrived at Winsford depot this morning.

T11BLU (891) still out in Northwich, presume this be finished with soon? Due to its age?
RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot - T42 PVM - 06/01/2016 14:06
Its orignial reg was MF51 TVV so got a while yet

It always struck me as crazy that Blue Bus went out of their way to make these Darts appear two and a half years older than they actually are!

True, but if they wanted to keep the registrations, they could have transferred them onto their two genuine T-registered vehicles (T222 MTB and T42 PVM), rather than onto 51-reg Darts, so as not to increase the perceived average age of the fleet.

With extra Geminis drafted in for route 84, and one of the Sapphire Geminis for route 38 maybe still off the road, I am concerned that it might be harder than usual to locate a Sapphire Gemini on route 38.

Copey I'm guessing macc have a couple of solos off the road atm. In the past wk we've had 2609 & 2611 on loan to us along with 4104 last wk.
Also what's replacing the cadets????
