I couldn't say I'm afraid; I'm not regularly that way. The extension came about due to additional funding though, didn't it? If so, it will be irrelevant how many actually end up using it between Warrington and Daresbury as the funding will be dependent upon the extension.

I reckon that more would use it if they could guarantee to be at their work on the hour.
I can't remember the timetable off hand, but it is meant to get to Daresbury with something like only 3 minutes to spare before 9am, which isn't great if you have to walk a way before you clock on, and also bearing in mind that Chester Road can sometimes get gummed up.
It is great that the extension exists though, as it has made working at Daresbury a possibility for me, so long as I can rely on the bus sticking to the schedule exactly or preferably arriving early.

One of the V-DJC Darts is on there too, can't remember which one though. Saw it in Rainhill at around 2pm.

2692 as received a repaint into the new standard livery after its rta damage repair.

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
Any form of internal refurbishment or are we not quite that lucky yet? I did mean to ask at the time as well, was the damage particularly significant to 2692?
