Seems like 4143 doesn't like being on 29s as that's 2 consecutive days its been out and broke down, seriously though makes you wonder what the actual problem is if it keeps breaking down like this

3615 is down on the official Arriva North West and Wales October 2013 (period ten) fleet-list as being in the "pool". I presume that this allocation will happen during the course of the month.

3615 will be present in Chester depot until repair after breaking down on the 84 today. 4056 is closer to being repaired now, And is having it's last few touches done. 4040 will also be back on the road a while after.

So where's the donor engine for 4040 come from? Yesterday (21st) I had 3615 far as the depot at winsford where the driver had to change over due to a knacked speedo, was swapped for 2611. Saw 4040 parked up at the back of the yard looking rather sorry for itself wiv what appeared 1 headlight missing.

How far off is 4056 from being ready for duty? Also out of curiousity what happened to all winsfords old darts I.E. 860/861/862/863/865/882/886. Think someone mentioned 886 is in merseyside somewhere & there's 867/868/869/876/877/878 left but I never actually saw 879 or 872 in service at all???

4040's withdrawn, 4056 is going to be done soon!

Darts: 860-866 went to Wales, 863 Burned out so is withdawn, 872/879/882 also went to wales, with 886 going to Birkenhead.

S276 JUA has been involved in a serious R.T.C in Moulton working the 31A to Northwich, See above link for story.

4012 (S202 JUA) (DLA2) Is here in place of 4096, Which was involved in a serious RTC


RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot - 33109 - 02/11/2013 10:32

So i'm guessing the damage to 4096 is terminal then? Also has 4012 moved here permanently or just on load, & btw how far off is 4056 anyone know. Seems like about 3/4 weeks since they started repairs so presumably almost sorted.


RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot - R311 WVR - 02/11/2013 19:04

4040 is withdrawn, So 4056 is it's replacement, The damage is pretty bad to 4096, So 4012 is it's permanent replacement at Winsford being replaced by a DAF-President at Bolton.


RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot - 33109 - 04/11/2013 15:32

Aye cheers for the info, had 4012 today on the 10:00 northwich-crewe. Anyone know what the hell is the REALLY loud whining sound above 30ish mph, quick bus but the whining noise is unbearable
