Not really. Sometimes, very rarely though, they venture onto the 272 or down to Chester for the 41 or Rail-Link as a result of a breakdown or bus shortage, but usually they are solely for the 7. They are ideal for that service as some of the roads around Great Sutton way are quite tight, therefore having the front wheels in front of the driver and the lack of front overhang is perfect for this sort of driving.

At the moment, there is usually an Enviro 200 on one of the two 7 service diagrams, due to KX51 CTO (107) being VOR due to technical issues.

Speaking of the 7, the forthcoming timetable change for the 29th May will involve some morning and evening journeys being withdrawn and re-timed, and the entire Saturday service being withdrawn due to it no longer being viable.
