The Queensway Tunnel was meant to reopen from 1st March however there have been delays with the works so Merseytravel advise that the closure (and so associated delays etc) will continue for a few more days.

The John Deanes college website says Stagecoach are currently operating a duplicate 82 service between Chester and John Deanes so social distancing is possible on the service D&G operate.

They've done that since at least september so nothing new.

Not the first time 27897 has been at RF, it has a brief period on loan around November 2018. Presume two Gold Enviro300's have gone the other way? EDIT, 27262 & 27263 tracking on Preston routes today, having been at Rock Ferry until last week.

27894 seems to sound like a Pulsar, did it get a new engine recently or has it sounded like that since new? I was behind it this afternoon whilst I was on the 18 service to Liverpool ONE.

Same engine and gearbox as SB200s but E30Ds have different exhausts so normally sound a little bit different, re engined MANviro300 24156 sounds more like an SB200 than an E30D because of it.
