D&G Bus

RE: D&G Bus
I noticed a SR in the new livery on the 12:30 Knutsford to Altrincham 88 journey. However, according to the tracking it was 101, with 102 on the 49. So either 101 has been repainted or those vehicles aren't tracking correctly.

Nah it'll have been 102, 101 is still red.

I noticed today there one of the large SRs has a blue and white advert on the rear. Given the angle I saw the bus from and the obstructions in between it may have been that one I saw yesterday, rather than 102.

102 is tracking as a Crewe depot route again, which if true means there's not much consistency with depot allocations at present.

I wonder if D&G are testing them out on different routes to get an idea of fuel economy for the new Evoras vs the new MMCs?

102 showing it did an "Any Rail" journey yesterday but looks like it was actually a movement from the Crewe depot to the Macclesfield one.

6015 completed a round trip on the 38 this morning, running southbound showing Not in Service despite having a good load of punters. Taken off service at Crewe.

6016 is showing as tracking on the 84X. Neither 84X branded vehicle is showing as on the 84X. 4 is tracking on the 12 route, and 123 tracking on the 317.

2 Evoras tracking on the 38 this morning, with 2 of the new MMCs tracking on the 31/37.

Streetlite DF may have moved to Adderley Green. It's been tracking on Staffordshire routes this week, but was double tracking on Monday.

572 was double tracking earlier but the vehicle that was tracking as 572 first thing turned in to vehicle 43.
