2512 is also here and is on the 79C today.

2509 is on the 3A + 2512 was on the 79C

I almost always skip the 79C in favour of better ride quality (and a seat!) on a Gemini working the 79/79D. However as 2512 turned up, I stuck my hand out and decided to give it a try. (Blue dashboard gave it away that it was a Commander)

Apart from the squeaky doors and the odd rattle, it was a million and one times better than my previous experiences on a Cadet. Ride quality was nice and smooth and none of those horrible idle vibrations. I hope more of these end up at Runcorn so I don't have to skip buses anymore!

I understand that both 2509 and 2512 are both Speke bound. I had 2509 on the 79C on Saturday. As you say much better than a Cadet. I note that this batch retain their luggage racks presumably from their days on the X32 and X94.

Runcorn looks to have a myllenium on loan, i seen it near Halton Lea South before

RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot
Apparently the bridge is closed, so no doubt there are some fairly epic diversions going on, plus overtime due to traffic.

RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot
The myllenium is 2457 and is on the X1 what a treat for the passangers. Wonder if it was an extra or in place of a pulsar.

The Mylleniums are awful. A definite downgrade for the passengers that use the service..

RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot
The myllenium is a poor replacement and certainly a downgrade for the X1, 2457 isn't a bad bus, personally I don't have a major issue with mylleniums as a whole, just with a the bad ones.
