Must add that a cumfybus driver was a bit daft on the 121 today generally causing havoc at Orrel Park, he got too far up the hill from Walton Vale so the 61 I was sitting on couldn't do much after going through the lights directly opposite the station. In the end the cumfybus driver had to squeeze through the smallest of gaps and pretty sure that he brushed the back of 4428 that I was on. The 61 had to reverse twice in the end to get round the turn having gone forward so cumfy could get through. Poor judgement.

Cummins solos are the best by far followed by man in my opinion

I agree Cummins Solos are better used to like the 2 supertravel had on Garston Circs however branded for something in Runcorn

And the Ace ones on the 117 (Moreton to Clatterbridge) & 217/6 (Woodside Circ) where fantaatic

Supertravel had 3. MX55 BXN/O/P

One was branded for the C1/C1A (MX55BXP). Which was a service between Runcorn Old Town and Riverside College Runcorn. Previously this service was operated by Arriva North West using a branded Wright Pathfinder

The Campus opened in 2002, closed in 2011 due to cuts, For obvious reasons, Supertravel lost the contract before closure of the company, with Halton Transport gaining all but one right to the Riverside College Services that were introduced with the Runcorn campus education facilities moving further afield to Farnworth and Simms Cross.

Cumfybus winning the bolton metroshuttle is a brilliant contract. All the free metroshuttle contracts are paid very well. Plus guarenteed income is always good
