Changes to services around Runcorn
I think I had read on here that route 82a would be shortened. This announcement confirms it will be curtained at Widnes.
I have seen pictures of 5010 and 5011 in service on route 82a. The sight of these in or heading to Runcorn will of course be short-lived.

I wouldn't have thought the gas buses would move to Chester - has Runcorn enough other work for them?
RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot - St Helens Rider - 09/09/2017 16:16
It is only the X30 moving to Chester - no vehicles or other routes were involved in this.

I guess the extra services in Runcorn will be ok for it. 110 up to every 15 and the 79A must need a few extra drivers.

Speke is receiving seven hybrids from Birkenhead. They could displace the equivalent number of Gemini 2s although by the looks of it they are displacing Commanders instead
RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot - T42 PVM - 11/09/2017 14:16
it would say the X30 does do better than the 78 since the 21 was withdrawn
RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot - iMarkeh - 11/09/2017 16:29
The main problem for the X30 is it doesnt tie in with the school times so it misses out majorly on what could be a fair few students. I wonder if Chester will change that.
