It makes it a lot easier to track Runcorn's vehicles on Bustimes!

Will prob hold off as franchising is not too far away
Runcorn depot currently not operating services this morning due to vehicles not being able to leave the depot.

Was the issue just to do with ice on the road? Not sure if I’m remembering right, but there’s an incline to get out onto the busway isn’t there?
Yeah, there is an incline and vehicles were unable to get out of the depot.
Some diversions still in place.
