Seems to be all change with the Wincham/Crewe allocations again, with two of the 55 reg Solos returning to Crewe in exchange for the two 64 reg Enviros which were at Crewe last week. A big Enviro was on the 130 today, which is unusual.

Big Solo 138 broke down on the 130 this morning so the replacement from Crewe would be the big Enviro. There is currently no spare bus at Wincham.

Winchem don't seem to be having much luck on 130 recently, from what I can gather one day last week one bus broke down while on the route and another bus was sent out to cover it only for the replacement bus to brake down as well.
As for fleet changes Winchem is just an outstation of Crewe not a Depot in its own right so I don't think it will ever actually have its own allocation.

D&G said they don't do social media as it wouldn't work for them.
Yet Chaserider now have a Twitter account: https://twitter.com/chaseriderbus

Different team maybe to the main D&G operating area? Or they've just had a change of mind.

186 has left Cannock and is now with Select.

61 - DRZ 4018
124 - MX05 ENF
170 - WT08 BUS
All 3 have now disappeared from the fleet list on bustimes.org, as well as Versa YJ59 GHH.

All 130 services to be routed via Alderley Park from Monday, so that they serve the COVID-19 vaccination centre. Surprisingly, no changes to times at other stops so perhaps they think there's ample padding in their existing times.

Towards Macclesfield, times from Benson Walk to Alderley Park are 1 minute earlier. Towards Handforth, times from Alderley Park to Handforth at 4 minutes later (but same time of arrival at Handforth)

There is still the great excess of time on the early morning and late afternoon weekday journeys though
