Also we don't know whether Rock Ferry is leaving FirstGroup or not either, so leave that speculation for another thread that exists for the discussion of that matter.

Thanks,
Liam Moskwin.

RE: First Chester & Wirral
S347 MFP on the 1/2, a lovelly sounding bus, saw it roaring from the stop in a quiet bromborough foot hard down, cant beat them really.

As mentioned earlier, theyve been threatening to get rid of RF for some time, since Crosville days even... but ive been reliably informed that the QBP has been a good step forward as well as the Chester city transport route clearup, and its looking more likely that RF may stay with First. Plus with the mass cascade program expected to happen in October replacing the older scania L113/L94s, darts etc, things are looking quite promising. Only time will tell.

i have always said that 60008,9 and 10 are probably the best scania l113 i have been on. there are the R-ERE's as well which are good. The R-GSF ones however are crap. Horrible jerky gearboxes, over revving engines and they are always overheating.

I also saw the eclipse on it today Andy, they still look reasonably smart and as you say, a nice change.

The new QBP is good for us enthusiasts at least as it means we can now get some of chesters fleet using merseytravel passes now that they stray out of their usual grounds.

Former RF 60054/R812 NVT on the 1/2 again today.

I agree with you fully there, 60005 based at RF (S351 MFP) is also a Brilliant bus. Good loud engine and fast as..! I like the R-ERE,HRF,NVTs simply because i grew up with them. Getting tired now but still quite good!
