On the T3 tonight with a full load when arriving in Corwen Barmouth bound!
Also funny to see YR14 HLU with a standing load heading for Wrexham just outside Bala at around 6 o'clock, then the next Wrexham bound journey to be a decker with only 2 people on the top deck!!!

"Student Transport" G503 SFT has also been making appearances on the 82 recently also.

The GHA services on the 130 route on Saturdays will be:
06:15 Macclesfield to Wilmslow
06:45 Macclesfield to Wilmslow
18:45 Wilmslow to Macclesfield
19:15 Wilmslow to Macclesfield

Nothing's appearing for weekdays despite Cheshire East council saying GHA are introducing Monday-Saturday services on the 130 route.

Arriva operate the daytime 130 service MON-SAT.

These timings will be positioning journeys to avoid dead mileage to/from the depot - probably for the 88 and/or 200 services, both of which pass through Wilmslow

This would make sense as the 88 is now operated by the Macc guys.
They're also going to get more running time on the 88 some time soon (not sure if it's come through VOSA yet).

And as I posted a while back they'll also be 27X services which will also be positional moves for the 88 services.

The 88 changes from 1st September are available on Traveline. It seems they've actually reduced the running time of some services opposed to increased them. For instance, the 07:10 from Altrincham arrives in Knutsford 5 minutes earlier.

Something I find a bit strange is GHA will be running some morning route 38 services as positional moves between Macclesfield and Congleton only, given Arriva run the daytime services on the 38 route and GHA run a 39 service between Macclesfield and Congleton via Lyme Green.

I suspect it's because the primary goal of the registrations is to get fuel rebate. The Secondary goal of perhaps picking up a passenger or 2 is far more likely on the 38 as it already has journeys in the early morning.
