I was told by a driver 2nd was last day (he told me last week) but we'll soon know tomorrow!

I’m up Brunswick ways tomorrow so will see if this is the case!

Selwyns are still operating the 500 today

I spoke to a 500 yesterday and the driver told me that from Monday, it's back to Arriva and the 500 drivers are going back on furlough.

I thought that would be the case, would make more sense than to switch on a Sunday. Cheers for that info

Maybe Selwyns should of asked Arriva if they want to lend some drivers.


RE: Selwyns - Liamkennedy2231 - 04/01/2021 10:21

Wouldn’t that require a lot of training though?


RE: Selwyns - Liamkennedy2231 - 04/01/2021 10:22

Also the 500 is definitely now back to Arriva operation as confirmed by Bustimes

No. Arriva use temp firms anyway.

The 500 is once again returning to Merseytravel/Selwyns operation on the 8th given the new lockdown.
