Yes I noticed this as well, it was on the journey that comes into Manchester at about 20:55 just as Im on my bus home from work, usually this working is worked by one of their new Levantes

RE: Selwyns
How long has Selwyns operated Hilbre High School, Wirral school services 620, 623 and one other service.

Seen 2 ALX400's in Selwyns livery (presumably DAF DB250's but could have been tridents) and a E400MMC in Selwyns livery with no logos.

I noticed them when I was going past on 38's and later passed the MMC in Hoylake

Sure Happy ALS did this service but the dead Millage must be high from Runcorn to West Kirby unless they have a depot on the Wirral side somewhere?

Sure someone knows more

RE: Selwyns
Happy Als were removed from the contract, it was mentioned here at the time. Might be dead mileage but it will have been factored into the cost they bid for the contract so it's probably not an issue really.

I can't say too much but yes Selwyns now operate the routes. Only started last week. There are more busses due for more Merseytravel contract work.

Nice to see Selwyn doing this on the Wirral tbh if it was not for the MMC I don't think I would have noticed

If they are based at Runcorn (the 400mmc has also been used at Haytons?) I think the idea behind them is that they can be used on Private Hire work.

Until now Ashcroft's and Vision Coaches are the the only operators in the whole of Halton currently with a double deckers in their hireable fleet.
