The Centro will be an emergency loan to cover for buses VOR.

It's closer to Runcorn than some people think! I had 2615 on a Winsford working around 7AM This morning, But the duty it's on is now a MPD, Whcih makes sense (Ironcally X215 JOF, 865!)

The first EcoCity is due very soon, possibly the one that was at the Bus and Coach Expo in the NEC last week. It will be used for driver familiarisation for a few weeks and will probably enter service Jan/Feb next year on Busway Circulars and Chesters.
Still no confirmation of the destination of the remaining 09s however.

I have a felling they will move along the M56 east bound

There is also a planned increase in frequency on the 36 Mon-Sat, as well as an introduction of short Sunday journeys.
I didn't see any of that coming!

were did you get GHA running a 21e I have checked the N&P http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=121315

Plus the Cheshire West & Chester website and they are not on that

Not really much need for that sort of attitude, at the end of the day I think passengers are allowed to be a little annoyed at the fact bigger more suitable buses are being sent away by the big bosses at Arriva...
