Bus times is showing 140 on the Handforth Dean shuttle but it's one of the 73 reg MMCs.

And 58 is showing on two different turns on the 38!

There were only two turns shown on the 38 yesterday. I yhoght the missing one was the elusive 574. It turned out to be 531. Is 574 VOR?

No - if you looked closely 58 was shown on two consecutive departures from each end;

Noticed a Solo on a 108 in Buxton on Saturday. I was a bit surprised as I didn't realise they'd extended some 108 journeys to Buxton. It was almost empty though, a contrast to some of the High Peak services that had very healthy loadings.

A few works and college contracts have tracked on bus times today. Normally the only unregistered route that I spot is the Handforth Dean Free Shuttle.

North Western Road Car branded 504 has finally returned to service. It's on Macclesfield to Altrincham workings at present.

It's probably taken the place of 117 that failed again yesterday.

If a replacement vehicle has to be sourced following a breakdown, and it's 35 minutes behind schedule I can understand stops being missed to make up time.

However, running Over Peover-Knutsford-Wilmslow-Altrincham without leaving the main road, even to go into Knutsford bus station or Wilmslow Bank Square is extreme!

It even ended up 4 minutes ahead of schedule arriving into Altrincham!

The mysterious 574 has now appeared on bustimes.

Based on this Flickr picture you wouldn't think 504 had recently been out-of-service for so long:
