That looks really smart. Looking forward to seeing it in service
The 27 bus doesn't appear to be running within 10 minutes of it's schedule currently. Not sure if it relates to the bus being stuck in traffic problems or something else.
Can anyone confirm now newer buses have arrived, has it seen the departures of MX62GNJ and MK63XAC or are either still around?

MK63XAC has been with Mid Wales Travel since the start of the month

Thanks I was quite confident that one had gone. Not sure about the other one though.
Saw SN66 on the 289 earlier. I think they must have used a special paint on that bus - one that acts as a magnet for dirt. I realise the cold night the other night would have contributed to that, it still seems a lot given how recently the bus was painted.
The new MetroCity has been delivered, registered RH66HOW.
I'm reliably informed the new Metrocity will be on 27 this afternoon until end of duty replacing the usual Scania Solar that has been on the route until recently.

I'll have to see if I can see it. I was informed one of the GHA Metrocities once appeared on the 27 route and that the D&G Metrocities appeared in the area for the Cheshire Show shuttles but I didn't see either of those instances.

I've not seen what's on the 289 or all the 88 buses today but if SN66 is on the 289 and the 88s are all operated by the 13 reg SRs then that will make the 11 reg (ex Go-Goodwins) Enviro on the 300 route the oldest bus being used in Knutsford later on today!
Currently parked up at Knutsford bus station. I notice all the branding is for Howards - no mention of Springfield. Also they refer to themselves being a Cheshire based operator on the back of the bus rather than a Warrington one.
