Has 2267 got the bench style seats or the newer variety? If its the benches they're soooo comfy

2267 is ALX200, it has the same seats as most stagecoach buses.

Along with various 410x Volvos. Seems the 84 longs have gone fully double deck for the summer. I went to Liverpool today on 4102 0935 from Acton and returned on 4179 1655 from Chester. Stagecoach let me down on the return 1504 X8 from Liverpool - 36807 expiring on the M53 near Cheshire Oaks. Will not elaborate on the Arriva Winsford thread other than to say a definite win for Arriva today.

We went to Crewe yesterday, and we observed the following...

On the #84's (Chester) were 2618/4100/4105/4179.

The shorts to Nantwich were being worked by 4106/4216 only 4106 was broken down at the side of the road between Crewe and Wilaston from at least 14:00. As far as I know nothing was working in place of 4106. The service (at least for an hour or two) was running a bus down.

Spare at Crewe was Dart 894 and this disappeared in the afternoon but I don't think it went onto the #84 short.

Cadet 2447 was out on the #8... Not to bad for ride quality for this ageing Cadet but it smelled like sick!

On the #6's were 679 & 702.

On the #31/31A/37's were 2267/2501/2608/2614.

The only #38 observed yesterday was being worked by 4460.

It is, but it is currently on loan at Winsford. It's been at Winsford since at least 24/07... I thought it had been reported on here, but a quick search reveals that it hadn't. It has been mention as being at Winsford elsewhere on the Internet.

Thanks for that. I do not go searching the internet and rely on this forum for info.
