The 110 is a pvr of 3 and the 329 with a pvr of 2 but there are extra 329's in a morning and tea time for positioning journeys.

I found Both Centro's and both of the 04 Plate Solos today on the 329 & 110 I saw the Tempo on a 110 but didn't have time to get it so I need just the 53 Plate Solo The Tempo & Streetlite

The 53 plate solo tends to do a journey in the morning to warrington then does meal releif in warrington.

Yeah as it does a 329 from st helens in the morning then tends to go straight onto the 110.
I have noticed lately that the body work on a few of there buses as began to look a bit tatty with duck tape on the bumpers and a few welded metal spots on them.
Looked a tidy fleet when they started but looks like its starting to drop a little.

The Tempo NORMALLY does 07:40 329 then the 45 past 110 (inc 15:40) and then 16:50 329 back to St Helens. Obviously subject to change around operational requirements but that is (or was) the normal duty

One or two car park dings on panels as well. Not sure on the Tempo or both Centros, but Solos and the Streetlite has them.
A shame really as passengers aren't commenting on their fleet. Still you're always greeted when boarding the bus.

The streetlite is (from my observation) normally kept on the 24 past 110 (and 17:35). It can venture onto the 329 though. If you are heading into Warrington to catch it, I advise just standing there and watching. You can ask the drivers as well, they are very friendly and will happily tell you if it is on their route or not.

If you want to reduce the amount of time you sit around looking for it, get to Warrington at 20 past the hour and by 0 clock you will have seen ALL the buses that are out for the day. (Note that the 10:45, 12:02, 13:24 are done by the 'relief' driver). Due to the layovers though, you should see every bus that is out within that 40 minutes.
