RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot
I know this has been asked a lot lately, but dare I ask have the fitters made any further progress with 4056?

Seems around a month now its been having work done for, also can anyone confirm has 4096 been scrapped yet or been stripped for spares?

Could tell you but I haven't seen my driver friend in a while, So I don't know anymore!

I think 4096 is now at St Helens, Either waiting scrap or being fixed, I don't see the point in repairing a bus that's going next year!

Last time I was at the depot 4056 was being stripped for spares as well, the staff told me that its had so much removed it will never run again.

4061 broken down in Nantwich today around 1130. Stuck in the outside lane at the Barony traffic lights waiting to turn right en route for Crewe. Absolute mayhem all over Nantwich. At 1230 a Bowers truck arrived presumably to tow 4061 away but I was not able to stay.

Winsford are having a bad run with their DLAs.
