On lots of trips, probably a lot of people will be catching the Cat9A anyway on the Barnton - Northwich leg, given that the Cat9A often runs not long before the N4.

If I was flexible with my times e.g. for a shopping trip I would probably turn up a few minutes before a CAT9A departure, then either bus gets behind schedule, it shouldn't mean I would get delayed too much.

233 has a shattered window, driver is still running the route despite this though....

Decker out on X5 for a trip today.
Photo available if anyone is interested.

Some Grappenhall passengers seem to be getting confused when there's a late CAT service and an X5 or 47 turns up first, with drivers having to tell them the non-CATs don't go to Stockton Heath.

It doesn't really help matters either when most of the time a CAT Branded vehicle shows up on X5, personally I'd allocate the Cat branded vehicles to CAT5 and the non branded Enviro200s to X5s

Not to sure why despite it being a CAT branded route CAT5 very rarely gets MMC200s allocated these days.

Looks like 243 is remaining on the new N4. It could still be they are using the CAT9/9A to arrange a driver changeover.

Regarding on new 105 EV buses, Volvo BZL/MCV is looking to take that role
