By what ive just seen its going to be going round the estates as ive just seen a white transit minibus driving round advertising it on a little led destination screen in the front saying
"new service starting 6th april wigan-abrham circular service".
I know it's about of date, but where did the R-MHN batch of plaxtons come from and where was they new to?

They were new to United as
1601-
1609 which later became part of Arriva North East. Hope this helps
Came from the North East around 2006 I think? If not 2006, 2001 rings a bell... I think!

2101-8 transferred from the North East in 2001, 2109 moved in 2006 with the S-KHN examples in exchange for Varios.

They actually arrived after United/TMS/Tees/Northumbria were rebranded as Arriva North East and were some of the first buses deliveried to the North East in Arriva livery.
They were originally 26xx as well weren't they, being changed to 21xx once the Commanders/Centros arrived.
It appears the 352 diverted today via Winstanley College/2 Mile Stretch route due to Road issues in Billinge. this is purely down to sightings alone but i have two confirmed sightings of this plus tfgm said that arriva where avoiding serving Billinge tat 12:30 today.
Also 3024 now has failed rear and side displays and 3023 is still a bloody cold bus out on 352 lates id assume it will get swapped out at some point i put gloves on when i got aboard the bus but didnt have any when i was outside showing how cold it was presumed failed heating?

The 352 was indeed diverted via Winstanley College today from early morning until mid afternoon as far as I am aware.
