(05/03/2014 08:26)WAITING FOR THE 437 Wrote: I wonder how the people of Saughall Massie will feel when the realise that the frequency of the daytime 17 / 17a is reducing to hourly, with the intro of the 16 / 16a route.
Saughall Massie has seen the 47 come and go, the 30 come and go and now the regular 17 reduced.
I wouldn't think it's a problem, they've still got the half hourly 901 by Cumfybus if they want to change onto a main bus service in Moreton. I'm actually surprised that operators in the past have even experimented with bus routes going to Saughall Massie, it's hardly the #1 destination for anyone to go to, unless you actually live there or nearby of course.

Ex impera 452 broke down by Upton Station earlier, causing traffic choas, but was quickly recovered

And another one.... This time 923 T423 AGP has failed very coincidently at the same place, same time and on the same route as yesterday's evolution that failed! At around 18:25, At Clatterbridge Hospital and on service 85 back to Mill Park.

Dennis Dart SLF Marshall Capital seen hard shoulder north bound on M53, approx 7.30pm last night just before Prenton turn off with mechanic under bonnet.
Avon Buses seem to be having a lot of mechanical problems recently.

You won't believe it... Another one! This time it's 124 W124 XMA (Plaxton Pointer 2/Dennis Dart MPD 8.8m) has failed with the engine flap up again, on the end of Brookhurst Avenue operating a service 84 at around 15:15.

Surprisingly, the Plaxton Primo is being scrapped, with it's engine being donated to ex impera 452

I find that hardly surprising to be honest, it's hardly been on the road for a full day in the last few months, if it isn't one fault something else crops up.

I thought surprisingly more because of its relative young age

Yeah, I agree with that. Sadly the EBP/Primo combination wasn't the best of products, they were riddled with problems from day one, hence the modifications leading to the Primo 2, even then the reputation of the former put operators off.
