Don't know if anyone has travelled on gemini 4489 recently but again there's a loud knocking coming from its front suspension.

Yet more issues with them, pleasant enough vehicles but they do seem to have been plagued with problems......

This is located in the yard of Dee Valley Tyres Limited, Whitehurst near Chirk, this yard is related to the nearby AN Richards of Froncysyllte who undertake MoT work, been stored there since November.

Had MOT 2nd February also tax renewed
Has the Dart MPD 921 now withdrawn from service? I've seen its been on the 1/2/4 around Northwich months ago.

Good to hear that, I last physically saw on 26th January, first noted it there late November 2019. Looking at the BusTimes tracker (if correct on machine) it returned to service at Winsford on 4th February too.
Since most of the Centros have gone now from Winsford Depot, what do they use mainly on their Northwich/Winsford-Crewe service these days?

Cadets usually seem to be favoured but pulsars have appeared as well as the odd solo.

Winsford seem to be using random bus allocation at the moment. I think every type of bus they have at Winsford has appeared on the 1 route in the past few weeks. I've also noticed the 2001/2002 reg deckers on normal services while K100 ABW is running a school service!
2618 and 2619 are still at Winsford according to the tracker.
4170 has been on the 38 today.
