3615 could turn up on any 84 working except the ones that stay out late. We normally put 4489 on the diagram that does the last journey to and from Chester. 3615 however not being low floor normally gets put out as a last resort. One of the diagrams carries on to Macclesfield at 1820 returning 1920 then finishes on the 2030 37 to Winsford Industrial Estate but quite often gets swapped for a single deck as the drivers are reluctant to take a DB250 on the tightly timed 38.

The 18:20 to macc usually produces a centro or cadet, today its 2500 doing the honours.18:20 is usually the bus inbound from chester that arrives crewe approx 18:00.
Also noted 2608 back out this week after about 3-4 months off the road for some reason?

Don't know if 3615 was on the 84 today, but I went looking for it last saturday, and couldn't find it even though I'm pretty sure I accounted for every vehicle on the route and loitered in Crewe for a short while.

It certainly was on the 84 this morning at 08:50 when I passed through Chester Bus Exchange.
RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot - R311 WVR - 01/03/2014 20:45

702 did the 19:20 Crewe-Macc, on what seemed to purposely leave 8 minutes late!
RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot - 33109 - 02/03/2014 09:29
Don't know why considering its so tightly timed.
RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot - 33109 - 05/03/2014 18:16
Anyone know where 3615s been hiding lately not seen it on the 29 for a few days now?
Also do 4026/27 ever work anything other than 29s as it seems they're both allocated to it permanently atm. Also how are the repairs progressing on 4215/4216?

4026/27 are allocated to 29's because they are very slow vehicles and can't keep to time on the other routes. They will probably appear on the 84's on a Saturday though. 3615 is off at the moment awaiting compressor repairs. 4215 is not yet at Winsford and 4216 is still parked up awaiting attention.

Thanks for the gen copey, sounds daft but I like how a few DLAs have the extra wide raised tip up seat across from the disabled bay. Makes it much easier for the old dears getting on, also noted 2500 seems to be whining a bit more than usual lately, this just age or something else???
