RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
Some DAF's would be a good idea - with all these Darts around, we are in need of some full sized vehicles.

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
I do think it's a bit of a poor show in the first place when Bolton have operated the 360 largely with full size vehicles and then have sent over a batch of mid size vehicles with the expectation that St Helens foots the larger vehicles for the route at the detriment of its own local operations which have to make do with the smaller vehicles, the 34/A being a perfect example of this along with some of the 320 operation.

The vehicles on the 360 have shrunk in size in a matter of weeks. From full size to Darts and now regularly Solo SR's.

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
solo SR buses go on shorts only thankfully, i think bolton looked at it and thought why let good buses go when we can get rid of our rubbish, saying that am sure i remember being told st helens refused the DAF's

Well let's face it, Jackson Street always seems to get the heaps whichever depot is sending them.
