I saw this on Saturday last 12th on the 67 Bethesda/78 Maesyg circuit along with 915 and several 68x /696/697 Solos. It seems strange to me that the labour and fuel cost of effecting this move can be justified at such short notice.

I suspect 908 is heading for disposal so perhaps a short term loan as 711 is now reported to have been seen at Bangor via a photo posted of it outside the depot.

A lot of stuff seems to end up at winsford before disposal. We had 2427 for a while before it was scrapped.

For some reason macc still hasn't got their sapphire geminis back yet, winsford are still using them even though 4490 is now sorted as was working the 37a on saturday.

Can anyone tell me if 2618 is still at Winsford & if so the most likely route/s it may be found on?
Thanks

2618 afaik is still here along with the rest of the centros. Could be on anything tbh really, 31/31a 37 or 37a.

If it isn't lurking round that end sometimes 1 heads into macc for a while on loan.

Theres a centro parked up in st helens depot near the bodyshop.


RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot - 33109 - 18/11/2016 06:52

Have st helens done any more centro refurbs yet MM? The whole fleet was meant to have been done but so far only 2611 has been completed.

Seems they're having issues again as 2614 failed last saturday with gearbox issues.

Is 711 staying in Bangor

Sure i've seen a centro running round with blue leather seats, either 2616 or 2618. Was that a refurb ?
