PVR increase of 2 minimum. (9 vice 7)

329 is also increasing from every 40 minutes to 30.
(However there is likely to be no major impact on PVR due to 360 reduction to hourly)

395 going should free up a couple of vehicles for the frequency increase for the 10 possibly the same for the 360 going hourly.

I've got a question, with the 360 going hourly, what will happen with the 329 interworking with it?

Presumably interwork with every ‘other’ 329.

One will go to Warrington and then to Wigan as the 360
The other will just go Warrington and back to St Helens

The 329 takes around 40 minutes and the 360 50 minutes each way. Together that would be a PVR of 5 with 15 minutes layover.

For example (Not actual times):
00 Dep St Helens (329)
40 Arr Warrington
45 Dep Warrington (329)
25 Arr. St Helens

Then the bus would do:
30 Dep St Helens (329)
10 Arr Warrington
15 Dep Warrington (360)
10 Wigan
15 Dep Wigan (360)
05 Arr Warrington
15 Dep Warrington (329)
55 Arr St Helens
And then as above

Low loader in the depot this morning, returning a hydrogen decker back to ADL in Falkirk. Believe more to go.

No surprise as they are on the scrap line at Gillmoss so not doubt all returning.

Multiple deckers out on 329/360 today.
There seem to be more and more deckers getting out on there lately.
See what happens after the timetable change on Monday.
