RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot
Surely nobody waits for an hourly, (unreliable), 130 to go from Kingsway to Piccadilly? |

The occasional passholder might just get on one if it shows up, but otherwise its a fast run from Parrs Wood. Which in a backhanded way is no bad thing, as there is (off peak anyway) a fighting chance of clawing back some lost time. |

Probably not now, but in my experience, when it was every 30 minutes it was reasonably punctual. Typically, this would be early afternoon back to M'cr. Of course, in those days, the 18 also served UBS (and Grafton Street) every 10 minutes to Piccadilly, but since all Boulevard (in the Hospital grounds) buses stop facing north, the 18 no longer serves UBS - and its been halved to roughly every 20 mins. |

There was a Solo SR on the 2 Northwich-Rudheath service yesterday, alongside one of the Mercedes minibuses. |

The other 4 buses on locals were 'bread vans' 4704/6/7/8. The other 'Macclesfield ' Mercedes 4705 has been on Crewe local 6 most of the last week along with 4702 from the Northwich batch. 707 has also been on the 6 while 4700/01/03 have been regulars on Northwich locals along with 704 and 706. I only saw one of the two workings on the 10 Bollington yesterday. It was Sapphire 2933. |
