D&G Bus

RE: D&G Bus
Some D&G vehicles don't seem to be tracking at the moment. I'm presuming vehicle 120 is on the 312 as I saw it moving towards Wilmslow out-of-service at around 08:30.

According to social media posts two Solo SRs have joined from Ross Travel, and D&G may be taking on the Hollinshead Enviros at the weekend. I wonder if the regular Hollinshead drivers will transfer as well? If they've not moved one of the drivers is the brother of a D&G driver.

A MMC registered YX25 OJJ has been posted in D&G livery in a Facebook group, with fleet number 5011. Apparently it's at Crewe alongside a 64 and a 15 reg Solo SR from Ross Travel, which are also in new D&G livery (unlike the last Ross Travel examples that remained in the old livery and passed to High Peak).

According to bus times 5012 (YX25 OJK) has entered service on the 31/37 routes today

RE: D&G Bus
Both new Enviros on the 41 today.

Looks like there's some movements between depots going on. There's been vehicle switches on a few of the Macclesfield depot routes this afternoon and 3011 (YJ64 DWM) has just started tracking on the 3 route in the past half hour. Both 106 and 165 appear to have been taken out of service.

577 is reportedly at Adderley Green, but not in use.

Will D&G continue to run the 48 from Monday or is it being passed to another operator?

It's a shame that the 48A is withdrawn, however.

As I posted above, D&G will be running a revised 47/48 from Monday.
