I've seen an old ex crosville back loader go under when I was based at runcorn depot while runcorn use to have deckers based there back in the days of northwestern etc I beleive. |

Have the 62 and 14a linking the busway with Widnes instead. |

North Western ran full height AN68s out of Runcorn in the 1990s.The busway is safe for DDs between the depot and Halton Hospital. Between Parkside and the Brow via Runcorn East the height limit is 11'6". Gas buses only just squeeze under. |

Enviro300's at Runcorn, two more (not on list / no fleet numbers are KX09 GYW & KX09 GYY) I'm guessing all the Cadets are going as well? or something, list is from http://quack77.uk/fleetlists/fleet.php?ownerid=1 |
