The easiest interworking for 360 might be Runcorn Depot's 110, which runs evey 20 mins. on Saturdays....

The 360 was interworked with the 110 a few years ago when Warrington Depot closed it was then transferred to St Helens

2615 did the 34 to Leigh yesterday morning (21 Dec.). Seemed to be having battery problems - the driver turned off the saloon lights at one stage - and I think it had been replaced by a Pulsar later that day.

Just to answer the mystery about the 329 and 360, it turns out that the 329 and 360 are both every 40 minutes on Saturdays and it is in fact on Sundays when the 329 now runs every 45 minutes! So it seems that the 329 and 360 almost certainly still interwork on Saturdays.

No problem , I think what they have done is took a bus out of the pvr and reduced some of the slack in the drop backs they had.

Surprised by this but 4182 was decent when I rode it at Wrexham is this to replace 4105 since it’s not been out for a bit

PVR increase following Haltons Demise is a much more logical Explanation
