RE: D&G Bus
Apparently that's the plan. Versas on 82, Enviro200s on 288 and Solos on 88/89. The allocation at Wincham has been pretty fluid of late. Not due to maintenance as several vehicles are riding round with reported defects that are just not being repaired.

Not due to maintenance as several vehicles are riding round with reported defects that are just not being repaired. If the Enviro 200s struggle with the hill in Kelsall I imagine if one has a fault affecting its power then they need to get it off the 82, even if they still use it on other services. There will have to be either Enviro 200 worked 88 services or some Solo worked 288s due to interworking on the early services and alternate evening 288 services to the Airport being replaced by 88 services to Wilmslow. Currently the first 88 service from Knutsford towards Altrincham is usually a larger Solo (which then goes on the 288 on arrival at Altrincham) but when All Hallows are on holiday they don't always seem to bother using a larger one. I've also noticed Solos appear more regularly on the 82 during John Deanes holidays. |

RE: D&G Bus
New roster started today I haven't seen the new sheets and bus graphs so I don't know if the interworking on the early 88/288 will still occur. There was only 1 journey on 88 anyway. During the holidays at least 1 of the Enviro200s was away for MOT so a Solo was used on 82s, usually an SR but I did see 140 on there. The 2 late evening journeys on 88 only run to Wilmslow and terminate in Bank Square so the current Enviro200 (usually 30) wont be an issue. It was a driver mentioned the power issue on Kelsal hill.

RE: D&G Bus
Looking at the timetables, some interworking will happen around 8am. 07:39 288 from E Dids onto the 08:05 88 and the 06:55 88 from Knutsford onto the 08:24 288 |

Early interworking has to continue as the second 88 from Altrincham still departs before the first 88 from Knutsford arrives in Altrincham. That early 88 working today is currently being worked by a plain red Enviro 200. |

RE: D&G Bus
None of the 82 branded Enviro200s have lost their branding yet. I guess they wont until the Streetlites enter service to displace the Versas. 30 is the usual unbranded one that does 288s. Works for me |

RE: D&G Bus
I think the driver of the 18:15 88 off Macc forgot it now runs to Altrincham as the destination display was showing 88 Wilmslow. This Saturday Knutsford-Altrincham to be operated as a separate service to Knutsford-Macclesfield and Knutsford-Northwich and between 12pm and 4pm the 89 will start and terminate near the Leisure Centre and the 88 will start and terminate at Manor Park School due to road closures for the May Day Festival. Also, for some reason they won't sell any through tickets on Saturday. |
