Am i right to assume that the 06:18 473 journey from Barnston is suppose to be 07:18? i highly doubt Avon would have two 473's running 3 minutes between one another? Also it says that the 06:18 gets to Arrowe Park at 07:40? but arrives at Dingle at 07:25?

Be a cock up on merseytravels half as according to form they have messed up the new 17 timetable for st helens-widnes and missed journeys out.

Seems more likely to me that it's the APH time that's wrong, and the rest correct. After all, the 202/204 uses three vehicles, one of which commences at Alder Hey at 07:35, and the other two from Dingle at 07:28 and 07:58, which would fit in with the arrival times of the 473s.

It does seem a little surprising that two buses should run three minutes apart so early in the morning. Perhaps Avon are just testing demand for through journeys?

Don't think that 402, HV02 OZU, has been reported yet. Was on 204 yesterday.

Also, 509, S509 NFR, has been declared SORN (again); 139 was in the yard a few weeks ago with a number of bits missing (including the number plate); and 254, unless there's a delay updating the DVLA database, appears not to have had its tax renewed - so I'm assuming all three of these are now withdrawn.

One of the Pointer 1's was still out last week/week before on service 10/10A not sure which one


RE: Avon Buses - N271CKB - 02/04/2015 21:35

139 is withdrawn
254 is withdrawn, or about to be
509 is off for MOT and is to be DDA'd

Today was the last day of the ex ACE 111 route


RE: Avon Buses - MPTE1955 - 02/04/2015 21:35

A pointer 1 was on 135/235 earlier in the week, think it was 124.


RE: Avon Buses - T42 PVM - 02/04/2015 22:30

124 is a Pointer 2 mate, There is R127 RLY (127) Thats a Pointer 1 and still in Service, could you mean this?
