Is 660 a permanent transfer I assume it is?

Yes believe it's a permanent resident now. Still going well & looking decent for an older solo.

Maybe route 38 is in the process of joining route 130 in being de-Sapphired?

Don't know now if the 130 to east didsbury is still a sapphire route as it's mainly worked now by optare solos or mellor minibuses.

2500 is now here joining 2501.

This is possible as already said Runcorn bus are now common at Winsford, I passed Runcorn Depot and a number of Winsford buses were next to the workshops

2501 is allocated to Birkenhead looking at Bus Tracker it most be a very fast bus becauses at 08.47 it was in Birkenhead on the 495 and at 08.51 it was on the 84 in Crewe Bus Stn then few min later back on the 495 been like this all day.
Her is it's location now To Birkenhead Grange Road
2501 - CX54 DLF
Updated at 17:50

At the moment the 84 as got 2642 2950 & 2951

So Winsford will be wrong as 2501 was on the 410 all yesterday

There is a bus at Birkenhead using the old machine for 2501, It is indeed at Winsford

2500 is a pool bus as well so it was never allocated to Runcorn just on loan.

Fleet changes here are:
2489, 2500, 2501 in, all pool. 4170 soon to join
In the opposite direction is 2611, 2615 with more Centros expected to follow. Allocation is obviously flexible between here and Runcorn, but there are quite a number of loan/pool vehicles in at the moment to help cover for long term VORs.
One of the Sprinters (the fleet number escapes me) and 2932 wkll be back in service soon following RTA repairs.

2932 is now in the new livery like 2931. 2931, 2933 and 3159 are working out of Runcorn.
