Probably the first time Arriva have ran a decker on this route which probably hasn't seen deckers since the days of GM Buses when the route was numbered 660.

I was actually with another enthusiast friend of mine in Warrington when we saw it come in and we were both shocked and while I decided to not to miss the oportunity of riding it my friend decided to get a photo of it as it left the Bus Station.

Must say though that 4609 had a good turn of speed as the driver left Warrington 20 late but by the time he got back to Wigan he told me that he was only 5 late and managed to make it back in time to do 19:20 Wigan-Newton service on time

With the arrival of 2716, 2717, 2718 and the commander are any due to be withdrawn or are they just extra spare busses. Probably one replacing 2267 out on loan. Cheers

At the momment theres a few buses off the road with faults them being:
2986 , 2695 , 2491 , 722 , 2800 and 2494 then the daily inspections and m.o.t's so some will get withdrawn once more buses arrive or buses are repaired.

I think the next commander has arrived in the form of 2574, pretty sure CX06 BHA is sitting at the front of one of the lanes in the depot.
