Not exactly, it is only a different colour sticker on the back after all.

Anybody know if Cheshire Travel cards can be used on the 2? First accept them on the 1/2 with their card readers, just wondering if anybody has tried using one on an Arriva 2 yet as the ticket machines acknowledge them on 487/8s providing its within cheshire or crossing the boundary in or out of cheshire..

So with 2404 transfering to Green Lane are the other following soon and would it not have been better to send 2344 or 2345 or 2456 or 2459

The management must have a reason for sending 2404 to Green lane , dont Green Lane operate a few of that type already which makes it easier on the depot fitters and mechanics and fitters .

However, as seen with 7615, such vehicles can be made redundant temporarily and still later given a reprieve.

just look at 7622,been laid up and stripped then all of sudden put on a pit with a refurbed engine and all the missing peices refitted and is now getting a bit of tinkling at st helens engine shop to be put back on the road and if green lane are shory there is 2134 laid up at the back of jackson street freshly painted.

Yer but 2344 and 2345 would be more ideal as they have loads of darts
