I know we've only got 2 fitters? Maybe IIRC but they usually do all that kinda thing for us. Thank christ for the bolton presidents is all i'll say, seems the DLAs really are on their last legs atm. Lets hope replacements can be found soon as they're really not gonna last much longer it seems.

Any idea how long we're keeping em for???

All the DLA's should be gone in October to be replaced by the Southport B7's after they have been for a polish and promote. The dates keep getting pushed back though so I think we just need to be patient. Newer stock is also being sort after for the 84's though I doubt it will go Sapphire as its frequency is too low.
3615 is parked up indefinately due to a reoccuring problem of overheating and cutting out. No big money to be spent there but you never know it could get pushed back into service in an emergency.
Diversions next week in Crewe[Underwood Lane partially closed], Sandbach[Middlewich Rd partially closed]and Davenham[No buses serving village].
Also the main road through Middlewich is closing Monday afternoon but buses are apparently being let through subject to delays.
