Spotted 2621 on the 263 yesterday heading into Piccadilly Gardens. Thought it was very unusual at the time, but evidently not if two have transferred from Bolton.
I think the 19A is worked around school services, so it stops during the early afternoon to allow the deckers to take up their PM school duties.
Wythenshawe had Commander CX07CPU on 130 this afternoon must be a recent transferal from Bolton perhaps
How many school runs operate out of the Wythenshaw depot and what buses are used for schools?
It mainly seems the 130s are worked by the commanders & pulsars these days, think I saw 2623 at macc yesterday. Thankfully the likes of 2238-2256 are few & far between now on this, its very very rare to get a decker on the 130s as their usually tied up on school runs etc although one would come in handy as the 130 in eve/morn rush hours gets absolutely wedged standing room only most days.

Seems that a lot of the X reg Dart's (2238-56) are either in Merseyside or on their way from postings on this forum in the last few days.
Well here's hoping the likes of 2238 etc stay away from the 130s, don't get me wrong i'm a big fan of a dennis dart but these are truly wrecked now. Seem to break down on a regular basis & they're all at least 13yrs old now if not more.
At what kinda age do arriva start disposing of vehicles???
2238 wont be on the 130 as its now based at st helens depot.
They withdraw them around 15 yrs of age.
An arriva Macclesfield driver mate noted the 130 did not operate all morning and Iv just been into town and its not operated sinc 1pm is this been withdrawn or is there another reason why
Commander CX07CPU was out on the 130 today
