GHA are operating the Cheshire Show shuttle bus services this year on 19/20 June. The services run Knutsford - Showground (svc 1) and Hartford - Northwich - Showground (svc 2). As far as I can tell from the timetables, three buses will be needed.

Hope of interest.

I think it is about £7.50 an hour (That wont be 100% accurate!)

I think that's unusual but not unheard of.

2. S878SNB Dn Dart (ex Arriva 808) - it appears that it may be starting its service with GHA at Middlewich depot - presumably for the 319 Sandbach - Tremlow Green service as the Solo which has been used on this service failed and had to be towed back to Ruabon recently. Again sightings to confirm will be appreciated.

Yes, It went passed me in Middlewich today, 1 bus usually goes past Middlewich heading for King street at 3.45 (Also Winsford Bound) It used to be the solo, As you stated its not anymore!, So it went past at 3.45 in Middlewich

Many thanks for the sighting - glad information was correct - will see if this is a permanent allocation. Cheers Ron

The Siopa 101 Shoppa looks like it is currently receiving a bit of flack
Wrexham bus service 'not running to timetable’

Someone does make a good point near the end, and this is slightly off-topic, but about the lack of any sort of Park & Ride in Wrexham, surely spending money on that rather than this silly 101 route would be a better option?

GHA's new X36 route seemed to be suffering problems yesterday, 13:08 Halton Lea-Ellsmere Port (T510APS) turned up at about 13:28 obviously due to heavy traffic on Runcorn/Widness bridge which had the usual weekend bridgeworks on it reducing it down to one lane in each direction.

Vehicles seen were the following:

ALX200 Dennis Dart (sorry didnt get reg)
Former First Manchester ALX400 Volvo B10BLE T510APS
Unkown ID'd Plaxton Centro
