Don't they do a Manchester creamfields service anymore?


RE: WBT Network Warrington - Jack - 22/08/2013 16:56

I'm sure I've seen two services registered on VOSA, one from Warrington and one from Manchester.


RE: WBT Network Warrington - Valandil - 22/08/2013 17:29

The C2 Manchester shuttle bus (http://www.creamfields.com/travel/shuttle/) is to be operated by Network Warrington again: they probably just haven't put it on their website as few people other than Warringtonians probably visit there!
It is PC0001977/88 on VOSA.
(The C1 is PC0001977/89).

Yep: that is rare!
Your photo of a vehicle purportedly on route 'A4' to Oakwood is a good shot too, in that this is probably meant to be the 24: no route A4 exists!

Hi Jamie,

Yes a number of Marshall Darts are still in service. Still in excellent condition even the three Y plate examples which are now back in service...Lovely to drive as well, better than the 02/52 later examples.

RE: WBT Network Warrington - RSTurbo50 - 22/08/2013 21:17

No mate. I did work temporary for them last year to cover the summer holidays but im now at Warrington Coachways. I run the Plaxton Pointer 2 Dart every day on the 33 service from Westbrook to Collins Green....


RE: WBT Network Warrington - M60lad - 23/08/2013 06:07

Eclipses are not all that rare on 28/As as a couple of Saturdays ago there seemed to be nothing but Eclipses on the route from what I saw when I was with a Network Warrington driver I know

Welcome to Warrington mate! You have seen some fairly rare stuff, you can also take a decent snap shot!
