Surely nobody waits for an hourly, (unreliable), 130 to go from Kingsway to Piccadilly?

Quite, they don't. The occasional passholder might just get on one if it shows up, but otherwise its a fast run from Parrs Wood. Which in a backhanded way is no bad thing, as there is (off peak anyway) a fighting chance of clawing back some lost time.

Probably not now, but in my experience, when it was every 30 minutes it was reasonably punctual. Typically, this would be early afternoon back to M'cr. Of course, in those days, the 18 also served UBS (and Grafton Street) every 10 minutes to Piccadilly, but since all Boulevard (in the Hospital grounds) buses stop facing north, the 18 no longer serves UBS - and its been halved to roughly every 20 mins.

What Solo SRs are still at Winsford as im after getting on the other 10 that weren't ordered for St Helens
RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot - 33109 - 20/12/2017 07:59
702-707 IIRC. 701 haven't seen in a while & 705 has been away on loan I think.
RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot - knutstransport - 20/12/2017 11:52
There was a Solo SR on the 2 Northwich-Rudheath service yesterday, alongside one of the Mercedes minibuses.

702 was in Macclesfield yesterday on local services 4/21 circuit. The other 4 buses on locals were 'bread vans' 4704/6/7/8. The other 'Macclesfield ' Mercedes 4705 has been on Crewe local 6 most of the last week along with 4702 from the Northwich batch. 707 has also been on the 6 while 4700/01/03 have been regulars on Northwich locals along with 704 and 706.
I only saw one of the two workings on the 10 Bollington yesterday. It was Sapphire 2933.

I am planning to head to Winsford on Tuesday to get the remaining Solos where do I go to find them all
RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot - T42 PVM - 31/12/2017 20:01
I assume you mean the SRs, Good luck there as they will be all over the place, Northwich, Crewe & Macclesfield
