Looked like something may have failed on 31 this afternoon between Wharton and Winsford. 3360, a Centro and a fitter all at the side of the road. 3360 had 31 Crewe on the blinds, the Centro had the display switched off, but I wasn't able to tell which had failed.
Also I thought I saw R239 AEY was on the 37 this afternoon, but I see from the fleetlist it departed in October, so unless anyone else corroborates, I'll assume I was hallucinating and it was actually R236 AEY.
It was withdrawn in December...Got the information from the mechanic, Forgot to change the date on the fleetlist :p Funny to see it back out, We must be shorrt! The way to tell them apart is that 3346 Has LEDs and 9 had Dot Matrix
2616 Was indeed on the 84 longs yesterday, A Driver broke the ticket maching base plate in Chester on 2503, So it replaced that
3360 Breaking down isn't unusualy

Whichever Olympian it was, the destination display was virtually impossible to read.

A bit of a surprise just now. Solo SR 709 ( MX12 KVE ) was on the 1510 84 short from Nantwich to Crewe this afternoon. This is the first time I have seen one of the Solos on Crewe/ Winsford routes rather than Macclesfield.
I seem to remember that I read somewhere - was it 'Buses'? - that one of the Solos was indeed going to Crewe for the 8 but I assumed the needs of Wythenshawe took preference with their two 700/705 leaving the bare 8 701-4/6-9 for the Macc locals.
RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot - R311 WVR - 22/01/2013 17:08
Yes, One of the Solos is supposed to be going to WD Depot to work the 8's Monday-Friday, and 29B's on saturday's

Gaw End lane's PVR reduced by 1 when the contract for the interworked 1 and 14 services passed to High Peak a few weeks back. Therefore, a Solo is now 'spare'.

709 is the one currently at Winsford now, Worked the 85 this morning meaningit went on either 8's or 84 Shorts
