RE: D&G Bus
White Enviro YX16ODG - 90 according to bustimes - is on the 85 today. Bustimes has ODJ as 91 but I didn't see that.
;
Google suggests last with Menzies Heathrow.

Bustimes also shows 504-6 and 530-2 still operating from Leicester so presumably from some officialish source coming here.

An advert on The Bus Shop says (as of last year) they are half seated, half racked. So they may have a low number of seats if the layout hasn't been modified since.

If you're seeing the same as me none of them have been in service since 10:45 on Monday.

Looking on bus times this 84X is similar timed to Stagecoach 84 wonder if joint ticket acceptance will be in place or are both firms going against eachother on the Crewe-nantwich section?

Well for the first week you don't need to pay to use the Stagecoach service.

I doubt they'll be joint ticket acceptance.

Now on their website that it's free for first week. Plus there's a muti trip ticket for the 84X in the MyTrip app. It's £10 for 10 trips if purchased before 1st May and £15 after that.

Fleet update:

177 has returned from High Peak. 104 is still with High Peak, while both 593 and 594 remain with D&G.

The new Macclesfield locals (which are currently on a West Midlands operating licence) are being operated by 34, 36 and 54.

45 that came into Wincham in exchange for 44 last week, is out on the Northwich 1 route.

109 has moved from Adderley Green to Crewe and is currently out on the 38.

4 has moved from Cannock to Crewe.
