Best places would be either Crewe Bus Station or Winsford Town Centre, with the latter particularly likely between 3:30pm & 4:30pm if one or more is on a school bus. Be prepared to wait though because, if you jut miss one, it might take a few hours for it to return on a cycle.
Good luck
31 is it a good bet - as there usually seems to be a decker used on there. As it runs via Leftwich I guess a lot of John Deanes pupils use it.
You're right that one sometimes pops up on the 1 but it's usually operated by 2 x Centros. Although, pretty much everything at Winsford gets a turn on the 1 at some point - Solo SRs, Mellors, Enviro 400s, Pulsars, Geminis, Eclipses etc.

Noticed yesterday winsford have got VLW decker 4211 here. Seen on school duties but don't know if works anything else due to its age.

I saw it heading into Northwich this morning, on a 29. Winsford seem to have gained several older Deckers recently, I've seen 4164, 4173 and 4176 on the 31 & 37 services in Crewe over the last week or so.

Macc have got 4410 here this week covering on 38 duties.
RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot - 33109 - 16/05/2019 12:36
Centro 2616 is here today, assume it'll be covering 38s.
RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot - 33109 - 21/05/2019 06:59
Noticed yesterday that macc have got centro 2617 on loan working crewe services.
RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot - knutstransport - 28/05/2019 18:18
Unusually no Centros on the 1 today - a decker and a Solo were used instead.
RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot - 33109 - 30/05/2019 18:23
Macc have kept hold of Centro 2617 this week to work crewe services.
Also has anybody got a general update of the winsford fleet, comings & goings etc & generally where things stand.

Anyone know when macclesfield & winsford are due to have the ticketer machines fitted to their buses? I'm assuming the contactless will be ticketer as it's what everyone else uses.
Also what are macc going to do in the long run regarding their decker shortage? Currently they've got 4489 on the road & I think it's 4490 that a couple of drivers have told me has got knackered suspension. For now they're borrowing a decker (usually enviro 4410 or a centro) but how long that continues is anybody's guess.

Driver's tell me that the ticket machine changeover is due this weekend.
