Presumably this is going to replace the current 70/72/73 services: https://www.knutsfordguardian.co.uk/news...s-funding/ |

RE: D&G Bus
Enviro 200s 37 & 40 seems to have moved from Crewe to Cannock Streetlite 155 is currently on 93 Biddulph. Are they being operated from the Crewe depot? |

RE: D&G Bus
37, 40 and 41 have moved to Cannock. Wincham now has a mish mash of vehicles after having been mostly Enviro200 for some time Currently 4 long Enviro200 (30-33), 2 short Enviro200 (36 120), 2 Streetlite WF (153 156), 1 long Solo (139) and 2 regular Solos (45 129).

However, while which short Enviros were at Wincham and which were at Crewe regularly changed there were often enough for 4 to be used on the 88/89 and 1 to be used on the 288. Since the 288 timetable has been reduced it's not been uncommon for 1 or 2 of the big Enviros to be operating from Crewe, without Wincham getting another big Enviro as cover. Streetlites have only started reappearing at Wincham in the past few weeks - I'm sure the drivers love that, as they seem to have difficulty maneuvering them around parked cars in Knutsford and Wilmslow. I've also noticed on a couple of occasions a big Enviro has replaced a smaller bus on the 88/89 in the early afternoon. |

Looks like 89 services are starting and terminating at Northwich station due to flooding but nothing on either the Cheshire West or D&G website about it. |

RE: D&G Bus
I think there's going to be some confused bus pass holders. The Cheshire East website says the charge for travelling before 09:30 on weekdays is not applicable from yesterday to support the vaccine rollout. D&G website says bus pass holders can travel for free before 09:30 if they show proof of a COVID vaccination appointment. Presumably what D&G are advertising applies to the West Midlands and possibly Greater Manchester. I don't see how that arrangement is supposed to work. My mum received a phone call from the NHS trust to book her appointment and her card confirming the vaccine received, which has a space for a second vaccine date but she hasn't got the next appointment date yet! I guess if you book online for a regional vaccination centre you'll get a confirmation message which you can print out but I don't know if D&G even serve any regional vaccination centres. |

RE: D&G Bus
I notice according to Bus Times 3 vehicles haven't been used since mid-December: 61 - DRZ 4018 124 - MX05 ENF 170 - WT08 BUS In the case of 61 it's only done a few day's service since joining D&G, presuming the ticket machine wasn't borrowed and it's not actually entered service at all. |
