That effectively puts an end (unless any loans appear) of big bus operation on Macc locals. So just another week of the regular DAF Cadet on the 10 which crosslinks onto the evening 5.

Yep also heard the same regards macc depot reopening.

Interesting times ahead though as apparently some of the land near the depot has been sold for housing.

Few of macclesfield's drivers my driver mate told me have opted to stay working out of winsford now as they prefer the work rather than doing macc locals all the time & the bollington route.

How often do arriva update timetables?

When I complained to them about the macc local timetables being 2yrs out of date they e-mailed me PDF versions. But on those it says valid 1st november - 3rd of february.

I'd guess they're still running Covid schedules, and are hoping to restore normal services on February 3rd.

Any idea what is going on with 4173? Comes up as still "Taxed" with tax due in May and not SORN, but it has not seen service in many months and it's route list was removed from Bustimes a while ago.

Arriva have not reclaimed that Tax on it which is usual play for Arriva
