It has been agreed that we allocate 3615 to a board that arrives back at the garage earlier.
There seems to be an issue with it when the fuel drops to a certain level. Can't see them spending a lot of money on it as all the DLA's are due for replacement at the end of Feb.
It should appear on car 161 which operates 29's. This will not apply on Saturdays as we tend to use the DLA's on the 84's.

Probably why it's been on My 29 home with all the horrible Leftwich schoolchildren on it! :P It is a nice bus though, But, it is really unreliable!

We have the same problem with DB250 4098 at Rhyl, we have to have allocate it to return to the depot just after 7pm.
Also our DLAs have had air throttles fitted which has improved them dramaticly.

Anything around the schools/college evening rush hour? The 16:20 31 sometimes produces a decker, or otherwise its a centro which is always wedged with all the college & school kids.

Ah well just over a month now for the countdown to withdrawal of the DLAs. Are they still due for replacement at end of feb???

If you mean 16:20 off Crewe, don't go for it, as it's not 16:20....There is 1600 which is a Winsford only, or a 1630 which is a Northwich!

Sorry I meant 16:20 off Northwich is sometimes a decker but usually produces a centro

the Inspector said 3615 on Saturdays does the 0825, 1125, 1425, 1725, 2025, 2325 departures from Chester on the 84

also the DLA that does the 0920 service 84 from chester also does 1225, 1525, 1825, 2125 of Chester - Monday to Friday I know this is true as the 1705 from Chester is always the DLA that does the M-F service 0920 from Chester
