Bus-Related Outings & Reviews

[St Helens Rider]

RE: Bus-Related Outings & Reviews
Another Saturday of fair weather, another adventure on the buses. As previously, not all vehicles formally identified but I have noted some.

Marshalls Cross - Widnes Green Oaks - 17 Arriva Optare Solo SR 720.

Widnes Green Oaks - Warrington - 32 Warrington's Own Buses 85.

Warrington - Trafford Centre - 100 Go North West Enviro 400 3107.

Trafford Centre - Bolton - X22 Diamond Mercedes Citaro (couldn't make out if the number was 33117 or 33177).

Bolton - Blackburn - 1 Transdev Blackburn Bus Co Enviro 200MMC 508 (YX69 NTL).

Blackburn - Preston - Hotline 152 Transdev Blackburn Bus Co Enviro 400 2770 (BF63 HCJ).

Preston - Wigan - 111 Stagecoach Merseyside & South Lancashire Enviro 300 27262.

Wigan - St Helens - 352 Arriva Enviro 400 4604.

St Helens - Marshalls Cross - 17 Arriva Solo SR 720.

Observations:

Was very impressed with the next stop announcements on both the Transdev vehicles. I am Partially Sighted, so it's definitely something I would find useful if I was looking for somewhere I wasn't familiar with.

It is interesting that I started and finished with the same vehicle about 6 round trips later.

Also apologies if there are any fleet number errors, I have a concessionary pass, so I copy vehicle details I get from the ticket when issued. As you can see, Transdev are very good at detailing both fleet number and reg.
