Warrington Coachways - Valandil - 24/08/2012 07:32

I've heard about a free bus Coachways is doing between Warrington and Leigh on Wednesday evenings.
Does anyone know more about this?

I've had a search around, and the most I can find is this:
http://www.fixmytransport.com/routes/north-west/be-bus

There was this service registered ages ago:
http://www.tan.gov.uk/tanen/vosa_selfservicebusroutesview.asp?txtLicenceId=172000&txtLicenceNo=PC1031921&cboRegNoFilter=PC1031921/4
It doesn't seem to have been cancelled on VOSA, but surely it can't have been operating all this time and I've never noticed?!

It is a bingo service usually operated by a Dart (originally) or Primo (currently) and has operated for several years now, it does carry good loads. I presume it is contracted by the Bingo Hall which is facing the side of Leigh Bus Station and is the old Leo's Supermarket next to the current Tesco one.

Hope that is some help.

I was in Warrington during the week and I seen V170 MVX and V172 MVX - both were MPDs and both were in service on the 37/38. As far as I know, they also have a larger Plaxton Pointer (1) in service now.

How many service runs do they operate and do they do school services?

They operate quite a few college services from Winstanley College with B10Ms in both the Alexander RV and Alexander PS variety. Smile

They also do some Carmel College services, usually Alexander PS's but more recently Dart SLFs have been appearing.
