Aye 4027 deffo needs a new exhaust as it was properly loud thurs night! Can clarify from a macc driver I know that 4489 is getting MOT'D tues so hopefully that'll be the faults behind it now. Anyone know how long 702 is on loan to winsford for? |

RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot
Pleased to announce today that 4489 is bk on the road after approx a week off for its MOT. 4030 now back at winsford, was dropped off by a macc driver at crewe bus station around 16:15. Anyone able to confirm has 4156 been withdrawn? Guessing it has as haven't seen it for couple of weeks now. |

Fairly sure I saw it last Thursday, if that helps, as I have it in my mind that I saw all six DLAs other than 4030. Admittedly 4156 is the only one that I don't have a clear memory of where exactly I saw it, but I think it may have been on the 84. I do recall that 4098 was on 37A, 4143 was on the 84, and 4026 4027 and 4031 were all on Winsford High Street simultaneously, on some combination of 29/31/31A/37s. 4143 at Chester |

If anybody could post DLA sightings tomorrow (Saturday) please, I'd really appreciate it - particularly 4026, 4030 and 4098. Thanks in advance! View my new Flickr  Updated!

4156 was the only DLA on the 84 today with 4215 and a load of Cadets and Centros. Poor 4026, okay 4030, fantastic 4098 and sluggish 4143 were all on the 29 - as much as 4098 performed very well, it wasn't so good for its final driver of the day and was exchanged (for 2497) due to a faulty cab seat. No sign of 2425 anywhere today. View my new Flickr Updated!

RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot
Thin you'll find 4143 is pretty nippy once it gets moving, just not the quickest off the mark is all. Aye 4030 is kinda alright, 2425 is still out for repairs atm last copey mentioned it was waiting for a new fuel tank. Also any updates on the repairs to 4216? |
