Dont remember seeing them while i was operating the rails over the weekend as there are a couple parked up at the rear of the yard as noticed them while there but forgot about looking at the fleet numbers.

I thought rails, But thinking about it, they had been missing well passed the rails!...

3311 on 84 short in Nantwich today. Soldiering on!

Must prefer the Cheshire air to the Liverpool variety awaiting 'her' at Peoplesbus! Having written this not sure why I think buses are feminine - perhaps it gets you that way.

I don't understand why, but vehicles are often called 'she', particularly boats and ships.
My history teacher also always called Germany 'she', despite someone pointing out that it was sometimes called the 'Fatherland'!

A surprise today in Crewe. 4017 S207JUA on the 1605 37 departure from Crewe to Winsford. Have any other of the ex Manchester DAFs moved from Wythenshawe?

Apologies. I meant to say 'moved to Winsford. I know some of the 4012-20 batch moved to Bolton when Manchester closed.

S207 JUA Is a replacement for R311 WVR.


RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot - SNL 824 - 21/08/2013 20:18

Does that mean that 3311 is now withdrawn?
