3615 was still running on the 84 full route on Saturday. saw it in Nantwich crossing 2425 - unusual for a single deck on a Saturday - mid morning.

Not necessarily as the other week when it was Chester Races I noticed one of the Centros was on full route 84s and was the only single decker on the route

Aye its VERY rare you'll get a single decker on the 84s on a sat, pretty much solid deckers coz of the amount of folks going shopping etc. Plus sometimes with chester races its best avoid it at all costs as it soon descends into complete bedlam!

On a plus side though, 4216 has at last been allowed a break from the 29s this week, today its on 37a/312 circuit. Seems have improved reliability wise no end. Had 2425 other day also & must say it goes like stink! Reckon the fitters must've had a tinker with it some point hahaha.

4216 had a problem (A Loud, Annoying one) that has now been rectified, it was a very loud "Beep" when slowing down coming from the rear, and also when setting off, I don't know what it was but it was awful!

I had 4216 yesterday and have to say it was still slower than 4215, But still better than previous times i've been on it!

I noticed 4215 on the 20:30 37 Crewe-Winsford (Or Middlewich, as the destination displays!), What does this come off as I didn't see it on the 37 previous on the day?

2030 Crewe - Winsford Industrial Estate is worked by the vehicle off the 84 arriving in Crewe at 1955 and is booked a DD. The journey was originally put on to replace a dead trip to the garage off the 38 diagram before it was transferred to Macc but has remained in tact with the latest revisions.

I have been informed 2423 has today left Laird St for Winsford.


RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot - MPTE1955 - 16/06/2014 07:58

2423 is not here, its actually gone to St Helens. (Credit MotorMayhem).

It may only be a temporary thing along with 2451 which is now in service at st helens too as we are short on buses.


RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot - 33109 - 24/06/2014 10:33

Yesterday 2425 was noted on the 37a/31 circuit!!!!

Good to see its finally getting a proper leg stretch rather than been stuck on northwich locals constantly. Really good bus, seems to pull well & really quick, copes pretty well with the hills around these parts as well which is more can be said for the centros!

The M6 was a mess tonight so I came through to Chester on The A roads. Passed S286 JUA on the 84. Must say the old livery is looking decidedly dated these days.
