Are these V-ERG Darts the 11.3M versions from Go North East?
Just wondering as that V-ERG lot is quite a varied batch.

Thanks

Avon's V187 ERG (187) is an MPD - hope this helps!

I dropped off a rental car in Chester this morning and had a pleasant ride home on 155 on the 0935 22. However, I was the only passenger out of Chester and only two others on passes joined before Little Neston. Is it usually this quiet?

I wouldn't know about how busy the existing 2- Chester services are, however I wonder if an extension from West Kirby to New Brighton via Impera's 39 route would enhance the service at all...? (This would require an additional two buses.)

Blimey that's a route over 31 miles thus requiring a tachograph, it'd definitely have to be split into two routes!

Well it did, they must have changed it because my link no longer works

RE: Avon Buses
I think the above confusion is because Merseytravel have not been able to keep up with the developments since the demise of Impera , just imagine the confusion if they had actually printed a whole batch of those timetables .

I hear that R134RLY is to be withdrawn at the end of the month when the tax expires, with 2 of the ex impera buses expected to be out in service by the end of the week
