Just seen a normal 11reg 16 seater transit minibus operating the 37/38 warrington-altrincham as first time ive seen that done.
I think it maybe a new addition to the fleet..
Its just your normal box standerd transit minibus with normal doors what the passengers have to open them selves and pay/show passes through front passenger window lol.
Lol oh well so long as its doing its job.

Surley legally they can not use a van/minibus like that on public service
They'll definitely need a larger vehicle to cope on the 38 when the 5 stops running to Altrincham during the day!
The first 'free pass' run (0945 ex Warrington?) is probably going to be packed.
Ahahahahaha! A Transit! On a public service! I don't know a whole lot about Warrington Coachways but they always seem like a good little operator. Don't know about the legality of this but taking into account passengers having to open and close doors (does this come under heavy lifting??), and the standard ford transit minibus is a little bit cluttered with seats and doesn't really have a central gangway. Its a real funny one this!
According to form its because there is a problem with the warrington coachways livered mercedes benz and thats whst they have used to cover it while its missing.
It is legal to use a minibus in service if it has the right licence. Kingsway link ran by MCT has a bus service implimented.

Surely they have a spare standard bus that could be used instead of a normal transit minibus.
I remember a number of years ago they used a Metrobus on the 37/38, couldn't' they use one of their double deckers normally used on schools.
And whats happened to all their Primos?
