The Monthly activity list from Ensign shows Als have acquired 3 former Lothian Volvo B9TL Wright Gemini's in the form of;
SN57DDJ, SN57DFE and SN57DFO.
Nothing heard recently about the 3 brand new 10.8m Enviro200 MMCs that are supposedly due for the 22 which is due to start on Tuesday.

Guessing they will be through Mistral rather than Ensign.

Happy Als ran a few other Merseytravel tenders too, ended up pulling out of normal tendered bus services, concentrating on schools & private hire

Quick question: because Happy Al's start operating the 22 from Monday, anyone know whether they offer day or weekly tickets considering it is a cross-boundary service?

The first trip from Chester is being ran by SN57 DCZ.
The X22 duty is being ran by SN58 BYO
In relation to fares, I asked for a return ticket and was automatically given a day ticket worth £4.40 so I presume the same fares as Stagecoach on the Cheshire side of the border.

Lol..was SN58s today. Don't like the white livery on them. They would look cool in maroon. Unfortunately therevwasva lot of covid free air and not a lot else being transported in Neston at midday today

Just seen what I presume is one of the new MMCs..DD68ALS? On A540 at Hinderton Arms. Not sure if it was running as some sort of dupe, bùt was showing 22 Chester Interchange, but had bypassed Neston and was a couple of minutes behind the service bus which had just turned off the A540 to go to Willaston.
