Don't shoot the messenger Honestly don't know, just wait and see is all we can do I guess!

At least there will be many spare buses for a change[/i] when the other buses get booked off for gas buses

The first five will enter service later in the day around 13:00 booking off buses already on there. The rest will enter service the following week on the 21 and X30.

HTIOI

I would guess the Press Launch will be by invite only, but as they will be out and about after lunch plenty of good vantage points next to the busway!

Yes its a private launch so i would guess it will be out of sight and as you say DVL Invite Only

Runcorn are having a open day soon forgot what date[/u]

Do you mean the NWVRT tour? It's on the 3rd March and goes to Speke, Green Lane, Laird Street, Runcorn and St Helens. It's to my understanding you have to pre-book a place and I think they've all been booked. Best asking one of the NWVRT regulars for more info.

Im going on the NWVRT tour think its fully booked now i reserved two places for my partner and myself weeks ago when it was first announced the demand for the tour was very high and its proved to be very popular think theres about 5 buses going!

It is indeed a private event and I've worded it wrong so apologies, wait till they're out in service as presumably it's out of view. Apologies for getting it wrong.

Just went past the unbranded 3137 on the 79C



Also before I joined the site I caught the unreliable 2419 on the X1

Doesn't look like 7642 will see service again It has something wrong with its engine and they've given up with it


2419 is VOR (doesn't surprise me)

2532 has been off the road for some time must be something seriously wrong with it

Considering that it's currently parked in Wrexham depot in a sorry state, I'd say that Runcorn have gave-up.
