If things get worse as we all know they're doing ATM I'd think the commissioner would have to take action. It runs that late at times (up to 30 mins) how are they allowed to get away with it?

Arriva's customers who pay good money for their tickets deserve a decent reliable service surely? Another question. I have is why won't arriva just simply plan more time into the 130 timetable? That way it'd stand 1/2 a chance of keeping time better.

As for the 82, arriva seem fairly happy still splitting it between winsford & chester depots although the turnaround is fairly tight. Doesn't leave much recovery time if they're late out of chester or particularly northwich at rush hour which can be an absolute nightmare.

Yh noticed that today there was an enviro 400 decker on it & pulsar 3660.
Winsford have currently got a pulsar with the old livery & interior spec. 2951 sat in crewe earlier today.

I think 2951 has been at Winsford for a while now
Are these what are on order for here?

Sadly yes.
Local media report regarding the Sunday 130 attached.

Also includes info on D&G 88 and Howards 200.

Looks like the Sunday 130 issues are being solved - withdraw it.

Has anyone got a link to the full proposal? Obviously that's a Wilmslow focused article so might not mention other affected routes.
Spotted passing wharton this morning is another old liveried pulsar 2950. Working the 29 duty.
