The Rail Replacement Buses were only running on the full line on Sunday due to the removal and replacement of Brook Lane Bridge on the approach into Chester Station.

However, saying that, there are a couple of Arriva Rail Replacement buses that do the entire length run from Chester/E. Port to Liverpool of a morning, these are the;

Monday to Saturday: 0527 Rock Ferry - Liverprool, 0504 Hooton - Liverpool, 0524 Hooton - Liverpool, 0503 Chester - Liverpool, 0528 Ellesmere Port - Liverpool

Sunday: 0727 Rock Ferry - Liverpool, 0704 Hooton - Liverpool, 0709 Chester - Liverpool

A friend of mine has reported that 4480, 4831 & 4833 have been on the 432/433/437 circuit today. 4831/3 must have returned from Green Lane where I heard they went after delivery to Laird Street.

Thanks YK53 GXO. None the other way? Also do they call all stations or just until they full of Liverpool bound passengers then runs express?

RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
Yeah they where brought back due to shortage on buses.

RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
Ahh. Ok. Thanks not enough buses? Arr has spares in Chester and especially at this sort of time. Blacons running down, DB4/2 finishing. Surely throw one or two buses up here then run them express to Chester. Has to be better for commuters. Also, I noticed the route it took into Birkenhead. Very odd I must say. Why they not parking outside the entrance like they normally do for RR. Parking round the corner is odd I must say.

We had no choice but park round the corner due to the hackney cabs blocking all the bus stop in chester railway station so round the corner was the next best thing without causing disruption on the main road.
