Any ideas what the 05:40 Blacon 1A goes onto after it finishes back at the bus exchange via rail station? I know it goes off NIS but it does continue in service later on. 47620 on is running it today and it seems to be solo operated quite often at the moment. Just wondering if there is a reason for it? It is normally a full solo.

Im sure when I seen it come into Chester Bus Station at 0600ish its gone onto a 51 or 53

It enters at 06:05 then runs to the train station and then back about 06:10

The 9, X9 and the 109 are now registered on VOSA starting 4th September

Strata Mercades 66 plate demo in Rock Ferry presume this be heading to Chester for G3?

47081 in service at Birkenhead today on Tesco service

is the Sprinter DF66 AEC?

Yep it is

I am baffled by the 38 route, why not run it via that little link road onto Bromborough Village Road rather than Caldbeck Road. All that extra time. And the other way, turn right at The Rake then turn left at the bottom then right onto Old Hall Road. Again, quicker journey. It serves less stops but I think it would be better as the Caldbeck Road gets busy at times stopping buses going in and out of the stop.

Because its a direct replacement of 145/6
