Looks like ex-Stagecoach GX07 HUJ entered service with WOB today.

It looks like they've acquired several cascaded Enviro 200s. Some of them are 07 and 58 registrations, so they don't appear to be much newer than the withdrawn Cadets. I notice there's also two cascaded Wright Eclipses showing too.

I believe they are just stop gaps until the electric vehicles arrive, the Cadets are at the end of there lives. No extra Eclipses are due 2 of the 12 plates have had private plates on if you thinking they are the extra ones.

Apparently an accident happened on route 32, with 3 cars involved, one of them catching fire.
Let's hope everyone involved will be OK and that everyone takes care during this wintry weather.

I drove past this coming back from work at around 19:45 this evening. Looks like some extensive damage to the hybrid Versa that was still parked at the top of Tannery Lane. Think its probably a write-off. Hope everyone involved is ok and/or makes a good recovery.

Looks like 314 may have failed in Broomedge this afternoon. It's tracked on the 13:45 Warrington to Knutsford 47 journey and then 312 has tracked as completing the journey around 50 minutes behind schedule.

Shame to see the demise of the ALX400 deckers.

Deckers seem to get out onto lates increasingly often, mostly 300-319 rather than 185-199 as those seem to be used mostly for schools/contracts.

From a passenger prospective the 09 reg decker I've been on had a much better interior than an 09 reg Enviro 200 I travelled on the same day.

Not sure if there's a shortage of usable deckers today. Based on the tracking 103 did the afternoon 47 and has gone on to the Lymm High School 41A. That's pretty much always a decker but it looks like they used an Enviro 200 one morning last week on the 41A.
