D&G had the same number of Streetlites and 13 reg Solo SRs when they originally did the allocation change for the Streetlites to take the place of the SRs at Wincham.
Only one Enviro on the 82 today. A Streetlite and a Solo SR are the other vehicles being used.
Additions to fleetlist - new 2008 despite registrations.

Doesn't look like any noticeable changes between the Crewe and Adderley Green allocations, which is perhaps surprising considering since they took on the 82 there's been fewer larger buses available for other Cheshire routes.
Incidentally, saw a 82 passing through Hartford at lunchtime today which had no passengers on board. Perhaps that's the issue Arriva had with the 82 - loads of passengers on some services and fresh air on others, which makes it difficult to use suitable size vehicles.

That is definitely true. You can probably run the 82 with streetlites during school holidays and Saturdays. The issue is that on school days, due to how the routes work, all 3 buses serve the college and that is the reason as to why bigger buses are needed. If they got the decker for these school trips, a streetlites would do perfectly fine covering all other trips I think. With the exception of the schools, very few trips are busy.
102 running Macclesfield-Altrincham services today. First time in months I've seen a Solo SR on the 88.
There were 2 SRs on there yesterday, 102 and 104 Solos 45 and 49 are unwell and have gone to Crewe for repairs. Unbranded Enviro200 33 has been on 82s this week.

Are there any plans for Adderley Green and Crewe Depot's to go over to Ticketer operation? Just seems odd that while Winchem are on Ticketers other D&G depots are still on the old Wayfarers which the scanners for the free passes don't work on them now for some reason.
