Many timetable changes from 29th September according to Staffordshire website- including the 32 becoming Kingfisher.

Details now on First website

with no mention of Kingfisher, but implying the Cheadle shorts on the 32 are withdrawn.

RE: First Potteries
It seems that most of the Enviro300s have now been withdrawn, but will 67665 & 67699 be withdrawn as well or will First be retaining them?

Nantwich Road closed in Crewe westbound until Thursday with buses via Macon Way according to bustimes - although

claims not serving Crewe Bus Station.

Not sure if that's worse or better than D&G whose website doesn't seem to mention it at all.

They have a mixture of Enviro 200 MMCs, some with standard interiors and others with purple leather, I believe formerly on the Gosport Eclipse busway.

Some Streetlites have been refurbished. Their red seats and orange headrests give them a similar interior to those on Go North East route 56 (Newcastle to Sunderland).

The StreetDecks have blue seats, as per some refurbished buses in Leicester and Sheffield.

Yesterday route 101 ran a mixture of StreetDecks, Enviro 200 MMCs and Streetlites! My ride was the StreetDeck.

The 3 becomes the 103 in September with a wierd irregular frequency and differing journey times - presumably some clever algorithm taking into account historic journey time data?

I read First in other parts of the country are using AI to create timetables so i assume this is part of that.
