Howards/Springfield
RE: Howards/Springfield
A parish council has the 289 bus service on its agenda for their next meeting. They are unhappy about the poor reliability of the service with it frequently running through villages between Altrincham and Knutsford over 5 minutes early and not waiting until the timetabled time. They've identified the 13:33 from Altrincham as being the worst culprit.

The Metrocity was on Rail Replacement duties today, seen earlier in Rhyl with an appropriate destination display!!

According to their Twitter feed the 200 service has been suspended, while the 27 and 289 services are diverted due to trees being down.

Got talking to one of the drivers who drives 27 last night and he informed me that apart from the odd couple of branches in the road and other bits of debris in the road he had no problems getting round the route when he took over in the afternoon.

It would have been V23 HOW.

Another correction here it is indeed Scania Double Decker Y22HOW that has been sold recently and not V23HOW which is the Single Deck Scania which still remains in the fleet, another departure from the fleet is the ex GHA Plaxton President that Howards bought.

Ah OK I remember someone saying one of the single deckers with the personalised V reg number plates have been put up for sale, so presumed it was the Scania.

The ex-GHA decker didn't stay long then.

It was quite unreliable apparently, probably as a result of the years of neglect and abuse GHA gave it.
