Thanks for confirming - any info at all about duties is appreciated, especially info about which journeys usually have deckers allocated and what they run off/onto.
Just looking at timings, I was thinking maybe the 25 and 16(A) would often see deckers now?

Let's hope that the new 201 onwards last longer than the previous 201 - 206 Optare Solos!

The rest of the Cadets are still in service though I believe 43 has been VOR for a few weeks so I’m not sure if it’s future is doomed...all the other Cadets are in service

Thanks a lot I really appreciate you informing me about 36-38 being withdrawn I was wondering why I hadn't seen them.

I noticed this on the Network Warrington Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/WarringtonBuses/status/983984161236180994 I wonder how many will consider doing it? If the Cat5 gets delayed then you can't just get the next 47 bus!

It seems the new buses have stop buttons on the seat backs, I've not seen that before: https://twitter.com/WarringtonBuses/status/984081849915006977

I think it's good that they're advertising the new link to Knutsford, but it's one heck of a faff - wave goodbye to pretty much the entire day and change buses both on the way there and on the way back to Warrington.

In other news, there is a bit more about the Mad as a Hatter event:

After the 'Cheshire Cat', I wonder if we will see a 'white rabbit' in the future!

And some of the bus stops along the Cheshire Cat routes have been branded for the route - looks quite smart in my opinion.

Arrivas Enviro400 Cities in Wrexham have stop buttons in the seats I think it's an option on ADLs but I haven't seen any Enviro200s with it before

Does anyone know the number plates for the others or will they only be revealed when delivered I'm suspecting they will be CHxx CAT judging by the first two.
