I imagine deckers don't go on the 79c, do they?
RE: Halton Transport - T42 PVM - 17/06/2012 21:27
no as runcorn depot (who run the 79C) dont have DD mate
RE: Halton Transport - CX54 DKD - 17/06/2012 21:27
They don't as the 79C is Runcorn operation whom don't have any deckers. It's the main 79, operated by Speke, that has deckers.

A new livery
, Such a shame! looked nice on every bus they had from Nationals to Marshalls!I'd rather not have Enviro 200's on my 44! Nippy #20 may be feeling its age but I've loved it scince its days on the 203 and 201!

I thought the 100th anniversary livery applied to 34 was good and could have been adopted as fleet livery - just with Halton fleetnames - would have looked very smart.

Maybe they should work route 14 now that Arriva have upgraded similar route 79 to double-deck.In the absence of official confirmation, I would be surprised if they are getting new double-deckers - more likely to be second hand (ex-London ?), and quite possibly for use on schools services in the St. Helens area . Of course, like the Warrington deckers, they might also appear on some other services.
RE: Halton Transport - CX54 DKD - 17/06/2012 22:30
I don't see the loads on other school services but the Rainford schools cope perfectly well with the Marshalls, Sprytes and, on occasion, the Enviros. Not a huge call for deckers there in my opinion.
RE: Halton Transport - T42 PVM - 17/06/2012 22:33
bychall high also does not need deckers
RE: Halton Transport - B10B6514 - 17/06/2012 23:49
Could be to hedge their bets on Liverpool routes as they appear to be quite profitable.Deckers don't cost any more than singles to operate these days.
RE: Halton Transport - T42 PVM - 18/06/2012 07:25
cost a hell of a lot more to buy tho
