In addition to 4215 I have seen several other Volvo Geminis around Nantwich, 4200 & 4207 at least, and what I thought was 4216 but didn't this go some time ago?

Also is Macclesfield's Saphire 4489 now allocated here as a permanent school bus? I've seen it several times over the last few weeks going along the A51 at Tarporley showing a schoolbus symbol and Kelsall on the front.
Seems an odd choice for a schoolbus when there older Volvos' knocking around on 84s and with macclesfield having to use a Winsford Pulsar on the 38 too. Can't be a duff bus because it does go on Chesters on a Saturday though.

It probably went to winsford for some repair work as macc don't have decent workshop facilities. What normally happens is winsford like nicking a bus that's had work done by them for a while. Also does anyone know when these dreadful minibuses are turning up?

One went into service yesterday at Northwich, and the other 3 at Winsford are likely to enter service this week. He also states that 4421 has turned up from Wrexham.
