RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot
A rather tatty looking 2298 was on the 79C today. Justice is finally here. Rest In Peace the 96, You'll Never Walk Alone.

Lovely little pocket rocket that bus. Does seem to have spent most days on the 79C since its transfer though which does seem surprising given its B36F config which I'd have thought would have made it better to allocate to locals. ![[Image: 1chYP.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/1chYP.jpg)

that bus was reliable at st helens so maybe they decided to put it on 79C as there are a few buses that break down at lot at runcorn, only a guess For Blog Posts Containing all the latest in the local Bus Scene The 2002 Bus Blog Subscribe to my Youtube Channel, Updated regularly!

Observed that 3140 had broken down on the x1 service this morning by the retail park on Speke road... All the passengers had to get on the Speke 82 Gemini.... |

2951 on the 79C once again today, nice to see they are becoming more common on there, definitely a move in the right direction! 2298 is a great bus, fairly rattly but very fast and sounds spot on, had a bit of time last Saturday to have a quick blast around the busway on it before heading off to Wales! Shortly after 2298, I got a ride on my favourite, 2952, on the X30 to Chester. Massive hold ups going through Frodsham though and by the time we were in Chester, despite some commendable driving, we were almost half an hour late, and the return journey was delayed further by some old dears with some flag or something posing for a picture in front of the bus, can't imagine the driver was too happy, not to mention the 21 pulled in about 10 minutes later as well, chaos! |

Just been told theres a 12 plate Pulsar on display with Wire FM near Green Oaks publicising the X1, giving out prizes and such like, may try to head down a bit later and get a picture or 2! |

If it's anything like what St Helens management were doing, you'll find a red carpet and free weekly tickets so well worth getting yourself down there ;-)

RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot
Yeah, my Mum and Dad have just been down and said they were giving away free passes and MP3 players, so I'm going to throw my dinner down me, pick the dog up then go into town and hopefully get lucky with a weekly ticket if I'm there in time :P |
