RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
The allocations on the 17 today are a joke! Two out of the three vehicles are 58 plate Solo's. More infuriating is the fact that there is a Pulsar on the 35. |

The Pulsar on the 35 ended up replacing 676 this morning, so it wasn't meant to happen but it did happen. |

I used 2166 on the 33 myself this morning and had a standing load, 3035 was on the other duty at the time, With the 33 still being at a reduced frequency anything smaller than a Cadet is too small really.

I've noticed the 33 tends to get the oddball vehicles in the fleet, so Cadets Commanders and the Centro tend to make appearances on there. If the Centro doesn't end up on 33's, it's usually on 32/32A. Quite rare to see Pulsars on 33. |

What I don't understand about the 33 is why it isn't interworked with other routes like the 38 in particular, because the 33 has a huge amount of layover while other routes don't have nearly so much. |

4595, 4599, 4601 4604 have been loaded on low loaders and gone to Thorntons for refurbishment over the past few days. Sure motormayhem will correct me if wrong with the fleet numbers. |
