You'll likely find it's just a pre-set destination on the blind list to be used when running short journey's for whatever reason. I would assume the driver has just put it on in error.

It's an improvement on 10E qhich was being used last time there was major roadworks on the route and caused a lot of confusion with passengers, I mean is the working a short 10 or 10A.

oh god i remember that none of us at the bus station knew if it was going via the 10 route or the 10A route :P

Probably easier from the bus station as you'll from the stand it's going from, more difficult if catching from stops along the route.

To differentiate between short workings on the 10 and 10A then why not number them 10D and 10E .

Pulsar 2699 is back. I have it out on a Dart duty of the 37/38. Quick but the engine whistles loudly!

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
The new ticket machines will be in operation from 15th July according to a driver I was speaking to this morning.

2699 was subsequently taken off by a supervisor after arriving back in St Helens and has been left sat outside the Arriva offices since. Replaced on the 37/38 by 2298 which was working 33/As this morning.

Edit: Transpires, something broke down on there this morning (a Dart of some variety, don't have an ID sorry) requiring recovery by RNW. 2699 got back in as a replacement got called for and the rest is as above.
