There were at least 2 Volvo B10BLEs out on 329s yesterday one was one of the remaining Saints branded ones, as for 360s I'm sure that if I'm right in thinking that they actually interwork with 320s in Wigan and on Saturday's they get a good drop back due to the frequency reduction of 320 services to/from Wigan

4599 is out on the 352s today, think I may be right in thinking that this is the first time a decker has appeared the 352 on a Sunday.

The 352 is regularly decker operated on a Sunday with the odd Pulsar1/2

Can anyone tell me how far Bickerstaffe st is from the bus station and can you get from the 920 stop to the 352 stop in 10 Minutes?

The bus station is located with Bickerstaffe St. on one side, & Corporation St on the opposite side. Should take less than 1 minute, even if you have to walk the long way round the metal barriers on the pavement.

2698 seems to have developed an odd fault. The engine seems to go to idle RPMs (around 600-700 RPM) rather than slowing down normally through the gears. Does anyone know why it would do this?

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
Case of it loosing it's gears? 2980 used to do it and then it'd jolt back into gear under acceleration. Possibly a software fault too though I suppose.
