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.
I thought Crewe were on Ticketer. The services run by Crewe depot accept Contactless payments according to their timetable booklet and buses move between Crewe and Wincham all the time. (There are some 85 journeys which are listed as not accepting Contactless - presumably the ones operated by Adderley Green and the 317 and 318 routes are operated from Adderley Green)

I thought 33 was branded for the 82.
The other Solo SR was on Altrincham-Knutsford and Knutsford-Northwich services yesterday. I was wondering with passenger numbers being higher in December whether someone at Cheshire East had told D&G they had to provide the contracted 2 x 35 and 2 x 28 seaters on the 88/89 runs.

All the D&G buses I've seen around Nantwich now have what seems to be the same ticket machines as those used by First, previously D&G had the same style as arriva (Wayfarer ?).
When a driver first takes over a bus and is login on to the ticketer all 3 depots are along the top and the driver selects his/her depot to continue. So yes Ticketer will become company wide.

I'm sure 30-32 are the 82 branded ones. I'll check.

33 just went past me 5 minutes ago and it has 82 branding. It'll likely be sat near Sainsbury's in Northwich right now.
I stand corrected I saw 31 - 33 today and all 3 are 82 branded

Enviro200 38 now in a Turners of Brown Edge, brown and cream 'heritage' livery.
It's route branded for route 8A (Hanley - Endon)

Hopefully 131 was kept on the quieter services, unless it was a last minute stand in for a failed vehicle.
