The Solos have been running on the 19, 3 and 26 services...very unsual as I didnt think they used these of an evening and havent witnessed any Darts running of an evening for the past few nights.
Wow that is very unexpected.
Maybe some Penketh boards run onto evening runs now, and this is set to be a regular thing.
It looks to me like passenger numbers fall dramatically in evenings in Warrington (greater fall than other places from my observation), so perhaps they can justify this.
I wonder whether any deckers will ever be sent out on boards which run onto evenings too, and don't get swapped.
If anyone has photos of unusual workings like this, I'd love to see (I'm not currently around Warrington).

still loads of marshalls around in daytime sadly

Sadly??? Lol I have to say the Darts to be fair are in still in really good order in comparison to some in service with other operators..

There was a b7rle (87) on the first 22 from Warrington this morning. First time I've one on here!
Have any of the V reg darts been out since the service changes last week? I've only seen the 52 reg darts and one Y reg dart over the last week.

Have to agree, whilst driving the 33A around Gemini/Westbrook area, all the services have been run by the Cadets. I imagine that the majority of the Darts have been withdrawn, such a shame!

It's not particularly rare to see one on the 22: certain workings are designated as Eclipse-operated as they work off Eclipse boards.
I think the first 'evening' 22 used always to be an Eclipse.
If one ever gets allocated to 1/2/22, there's a chance it'll do a 22 running.

Looking on Flickr, it looks as though only the 02/52 plate Darts are in service with the V and Y plate examples now withdrawn as of the 28th of January. Such a shame..

For the past few nights the hybrid versas have been making there way onto the 22 which ive seen when going into warrington interchange on me 360 around 18:42+19:12.
RE: WBT Network Warrington - Jack - 05/02/2013 13:41
There was a Versa on the 22 on Sunday, first time I've seen one on there but wasn't sure whether it was unusual or not.
RE: WBT Network Warrington - anw2015 - 05/02/2013 20:05
Theres been a few on there the last few weeks. I regularly see the working that the b7rle was on and its always a cadet or dart (or more recently a versa). Having said that 191 was on that working this morning!
