RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
i would not be so sure of the 89 being a good service, the other week on sunday it came 15 mins late and since theres no longer a diversion on there was no reason why he should of been late, as for the 10A BRING BACK THE OLD TIMETABLES!! every 10 mins peak with stagecoach starting at 9am and finishing at 9pm they where the days

One delayed service doesn't account for it being a poor service in terms of reliability. I catch it on what is practically a daily basis and it tends to be regular as clockwork, especially when you look at it in comparison to the 10/A. Delays exist, as they can on any service, but infrequently from my experience.

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
As a drivers point of view 2320 isn't bad but not as good as 2316 I think,don't know about passengers point of view it may be different.

Me and Scania1996 seen you on 2316

I have to say 2314 has been sounding rough lately and not forgetting a few of the X reg ANC's sounding the same!!

You had that before when me and my mate saw you in St.Helens Bus Station, from my point of view as a passenger I would say 2316 is the best T-PNB Dart at Jackson Street.
I also had my first and probarbly last R-COO ride today(2298), and what a cracker of a bus she is!:P

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot

There's nothing wrong with the X-ANC Darts with the exception of 2213 which has been suffering from problems yet, sounds fine.

With regards to 2320, unless it's changed since its arrival, I found it to be a dog of a bus when it turned up on my 38 a few days after it transferred in. It rattled significantly and it was slow.
