Bus-Related Outings & Reviews

[St Helens Rider]

RE: Bus-Related Outings & Reviews
I went out to Cheshire Oaks and Ellesmere Port. I didn't make any notes of the vehicles used but the day went like this:

10A Stagecoach - Borough Road - Prescot - think it was a 24xxx
89 Arriva - Prescot - Liverpool JLA 27xx
X36 GHA - Liverpool JLA - Cheshire Oaks - A Plaxton Centro - good turn of speed on the fast roads and no rattles.
1 First - Cheshire Oaks - Ellesmere Port - 60xxx Scania Floline
X36 GHA - Ellesmere Port - Liverpool JLA - ALX 300 - not a comfortable as the Centro but still just as well presented and again very decent turn of spped on the Motorways/A Roads.
89 Arriva - Liverpool JLA - Prescot Road - 2730 (remembered this fleet number)

The idea of the day was to sample GHA on the X36 and have to say they didn't disappoint. Luckily I have a concessionary pass but as 27701 mentioned the other day - the fares are steep. Whilst getting on at Ellesmere Port, a lady asked for Runcorn and was charged £3.30.
