2602 was swapped for 2953. 2599 is due to be swapped for 2642 as well I believe

Thank you for the imfo.Makes you wonder what's behind the swops and why 2599 and not 2601.

No doubt this will be due to the council not wanting to keep the bus station open that late.
It's difficult to imagine how they will turn around - maybe they will just run dead into the bus station and back out again!
Anyway I hope the new 110 evening service is doing well.

That is exactly what the buses are doing. No public access but bus turns in bus station and picks up at Legh Street.

I can only assume that it's because 2599 and 2602 have luggage racks. 2601 had its luggage rack removed after repaint.

Why don't they just introduce a night entrance like other bus stations have. Close and lock all the bus station doors. Allocate all night buses to stand 1 & 2. Seems rather odd shutting a major bus station. Plus there is the fact of departure fees. You can't earn any money when the bus station is closed.

Have these three returned to Runcorn? Last I heard 2541 was in the body shop and 2548/2553 were parked up outside for about a week pending transfer.
