Just wondering if you have any insights about the decker(s) on the 110 -- is this just a straightforwards temporary swap with Fairbrothers?

Also, there have been rumours going around (as always!) that Warrington want to chop their 32A from the narrow roads in the south of Penketh, as their vehicles are struggling to get around even on the revised route (to be expected, given that they sold off their Optare Solos!) If they ever did stop serving this area, would you in principle consider it and also possibly the estate around Maple Crescent which used to be served by the old 31, which actually was chopped completely by Warrington? There is lots of custom in the area, but I think Warrington have found it difficult as they always want to interwork services to reduce costs, and they have found it impossible to do this as other routes require bigger vehicles.

Hi,

When ever you see a Fairbrothers vehicle on our 110 service its simply because we've either had a mechanical issue or a vehicle is off road for a routine inspection. Fairbrothers look after our maintenance 70% of the time the rest we do in house. Today our 53 plate solo is off road due to an electrical issue.

Regarding Warrington buses, ill be honest I don't really follow what they do im aware of the changes and the routes un-serviced but there's always that burning thought "There's a reason why they dropped it"
