Visually there was nothing wrong with 5001 and there were no funny knocking sounds, driver didn't say he was low on gas or anything so I can only imagine Ariiva wanting to talk to the driver of 5001.
Later on at the depot, one the MAN eco citys was on the other side of the depot to were the stop is at the depot.
Anybody know anything?
Could of been due its 4 weekly inspection which all buses go through .

Seems Gas Buses were everywhere but on the route their normally on yesterday as I spotted the following while in/around Runcorn & Widnes yesterday afternoon:
3 or 4 Gas Buses on 79C
1 Gas Bus on 82A
1 Gas Bus on 3C
Is the above the norm now for allocations out of Runcorn?

4 gas buses on the 79c is slightly unusual but not unheard of.

I saw the Gas Bus on the 3C. First time i've ever seen it. They're becoming increasing common on the 79C. It's not out of the ordinary to see them on the 82A though. Especially on a Sunday

The 79C is only operated by Pulsars anyway so why not order more gas buses for Runcorn then place Pulsars elsewhere?
RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot - T42 PVM - 02/09/2016 07:45
The 79C is operated by Cadets.

More gas buses are suppose to be on order but unsure of numbers but will be replacing some of the cadets.

are they for the 79c, as speke is putting new hybrids on the rest of the 79 work in the new year, if cadets are still doing them after that date they will be a very poor second in comparison,they are now to be honest,always been far too small for the 79c, and most of the rest of Runcorns longer services except the Routes to Chester

Not previously mentioned as far as I can see, is that 2553 (DK55 FYT) has been freshly repainted into standard livery. This renders the Strider branding extinct - not before time, IMHO!
FXT (2530) was still out and about in its intermediate livery a couple of weeks ago.
