Fitters rarely go out to breakdowns. 9 times out of 10 its a shunter as they have basic knowledge and if its more srious RNW get called to tow it in. Fitters are too busy to go out on breakdowns

I'd entirely beg to differ. On the last two breakdowns I've been present at, fitters have attended albeit after a considerable wait.

9 times out of 10 fitters will go oit on breakdowns as i know in st helens depot they have 2 at least dedicated to breakdowns and buses being signed off for defects,shunters tend to do the bus exchanges.

Whatever was wrong with 7647 can't have been too severe as it was out on the 32's this afternoon

I've re-quoted here so any ongoing discussion is within the correct area. Do you know the extent of said improvements Valandil aside from the route extension?

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
now this i look forward to, i hope this leads to better buses on there as marshalls are just daft

I also hope this leads to the introduction of an evening & Sunday service as there is no direct link between the two at these times. The last time there was an evening/Sunday service was in the early 2000's under a contract run by North Star Buses who went out of business for some reason.
