D&G Bus

RE: D&G Bus
Recent changes are a couple of transfers from longton to macclesfield depots.

107 - YX14RZA
113 - SN11FFW

113 is an ex orange 1 Enviro200 recently repainted, currently on a short loan to crewe for a few weeks then transferring to macc.

I reported noticing 107 had come back up north a couple of weeks ago.

Macc will need to have an additional 2 vehicles in service on weekdays from later this month.

Solo 117 failed again today. It doesn't seem to be the most reliable vehicle.

I don't know if it's the drivers not setting destination boards correctly or if D&G are putting faulty vehicles out. Last week I saw 3015 tracking on the first 89 journey while showing Not in Service. Today I've seen 102 tracking on a 88 journey while showing Rail Replacement on the display.

It seems the 90/91/93A/93C are now interworked. There's a photo of vehicle 41 on the 93A on Facebook, even though that route isn't tracking yet. So the full range of D&G's vehicles on that new route today - 41 their oldest vehicle at Macc, to 5002 their joint newest MMC at Macc.

5205 now in a promotional livery for the Cheshire East 16-19 bus pass.

So which route is it out of today? The 82 that doesn't go into Cheshire East!

You really expect far too much of D&G. You can't expect Crewe depot staff to allocate a branded bus to the right routes, that's far beyond their capabilities. It's exactly why D&G will forever remain a low quality operator because their staff can't do basic things such as allocate properly.
