Arriva North West - St Helens Depot

That sounds a bit like the North West & Wales day ticket which can also be a bit tricky to buy from the drivers, at least in my experience. I remember one saying to me a year or two back that he'd never sold one of them before and didn't seem to know it existed.

I agree there, i only bought 2 of these, first time i was asked if the Ticket existed. I cant expect many people from St Helens would travel into Wales tho so that be why the Drivers are unaware of them

Bought it more often on SH Buses than Bolton and Southport but found Southport drivers knew what it was and knew the Boundary too reckon they'd sell a lot more of these if they moved the boundary a bit it's a bit like a ticket to no where SH/Sk Bound.

St helens drivers know it as the manchester day ticket or a £4.20 day ticket.

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
That might be where the confusion lies did they add the Manchester area when Manchester depot was closed into the ticket? Me and the driver of 2676 shared a joke of him not knowing what it was... he took it quite well

So with 2676 still being here then, I presume the move to Wythenshawe is off then.

677 on 20 and 2983 (I think) on 156.

There's also a decker on the 31.

4602 was the decker on the 31.

Is anything going to be done about the single decker duty on the 10 in the near future? Can't the morning service it interworks with be split off and linked with another route? The Pulsar duty does get very busy throughout the day and it just seems so silly to buy 26 new double deckers for a route and then not even fully convert it.
