From what I have seen recently they have:

Solo: 702, 704, 707
Centro: 2608-2613, 2615-2619
Pulsar: 2950, 2951, 3159, 3160, 3161
Volvo B7: 4100, 4103, 4105, 4106
Env 400: 4410, 4421, 4422
Gemini: 4489
Strata: 4700-4703

Buses are regularly swapped with Macclesfield & this week I have seen 703 & 2933 operating from Winsford whilst 2616 & 4105 have been operating from Macclesfield on the 38.

4106 has reappeared this week in the new livery having been missing for some time, 4421 & 4422 have also not been seen for a few weeks & may be at Macclesfield or transfered away.

When I last viewed the Depot yard there were also a Myllenium, 2 Geminis, a ALX 400, a President and possibly a Dart parked up, these were likely to be 2454, 4215, 4216, 4102 or 4104, 418? and 8?? .

4102 as been missing for a while now as its suppose to be away getting a new engine fitted then suppose to be going to st helens for schools.
So im guessing it would be 4104 parked up there.

The President should be Withdrawn 4185

Has anyone seen anything of gemini 4489? It's been missing from macc for at least 3 months now as it'd gone to winsford to have some repairs but never returned.

Hence atm macc use either a pulsar or borrow a decker off winsford for the 38.

It was a regular on a School contract in the Tarporley area for a couple of months but that now seems to be a Enviro or a B7. Ive seen it on the 29 a couple of times since then.

That'd explain it then, I know 4489 did keep going into something called limp mode where it lost most of its power & would only do about 20mph tops.

Best guess is with it being unreliable & still having issues macc probably don't want it till its fixed permanently. This week they've got president 4162 on 38s & centro 2616 that's either on macc locals or the 130s.

When did 4162 return here?

Not sure on that.

Anyone travelling lately if you end up with centro 2612 your in for a noisy journey!

It's got a fair few squeaks & rattles now & is definitely getting ropey.
