If 2800 had wings, it would be doing an impression of a dying swan ! :-)

2419 on the 352 this evening.

2418 is back on the road today too, noted on the 37/8.

2 consecutive peak time journeys were missed out on the 329 (St Helens bound) this evening, anybody know what happened?

2418 was on 329s yesterday bouncing around excessively and sounding very loud and rough, certainly in the worst state of the current X reg batch allocated here.

The 329 as been struggling today with the road works at winwick rd,then there was an accident where tge road works was causing the police to close the road making them divert through orford or dallam then got caught up in severe traffic between warrington bus stn and all the way down old chester rd.

Thanks for confirming that motormayhem, made for an extremely full 3rd journey!

I agree about 2418, not a very good bus at all. Better than it was mind but only slightly. Still very jerky when pulling off. 2416 still isn't out.

That should be 2423 unless we are getting another. We should also be getting 2238 as well unless that has changed.

7640/41/44 & 47 are all expected to be withdrawn.

2418 was the bus badly damaged in a front end RTA where it crashed into a car on Allerton Road whilst on an 80A, killing the elderly occupants. It was off the road for a few months for a full frontal fix, and since then it hasn't been the best of performers

7640 being withdrawn is music to my ears and this vehicle should have been put out of it's misery at least 12 months ago!
