4143 is an absolute shed anyway thou! Dunno why they only bothered to refurb the seats downstairs & not upstairs too, aye 4050 practically crawls along & it hates any form of hill. Also what is it with the DLAs, seems they've gotta have the suspension set just so or they won't move at all had it few times where the drivers have to mess about with the suspension for almost 5 mins sometimes.

4141 is a flyer, I quite like 4050, and I hate 4143 with a passion.

4012 suffered a shattered window today, Only then to be fully pushed out by school children...! 4050 was on the 84 longs today.

4141 Is a flyer, And I will say (despite my earlier comments on it!) 4050 after spending a month or two off the road has improved slightly! (Still holds it's gears niceley!) 4143's improved slightly too! 4143 seems to be on the same duty everyday though, The bus I get every morning!

Why am I not suprised it was bloody school kids who shattered the window on 4012? Not been disrespectful to any parents maybe on here, but some of em are animals who should be banned from arrivas buses for the way they behave. Always, when the deckers get to northwich around kicking out time, they're always trying shove on before anyone can get off even!!!
As for 4050, can't comment as not had it in a while its good bus just needs bit more umph to cope with the grades of cheshire. It was deffo a gd idea by the fitters to fit the extra tip up seat opposite the disabled bay, makes it lot easier for the elderly, also how's 4056 coming along surely must be ready now?????
CX54 Edit - Let's keep the language PG, even if edited out, and posts on the topic of the bus operations rather than the personal nature of the passengers please.

4143 Broke down in Winsford today, Screaming 2502 replaced it.

CX54, yh apologies for that just really annoying sometimes but hey ho. What the hell is it with 4143 lately, it seems to be breaking down on a regular basis?

It certainly does, Always on the same duty, the same journey and in the same place!

Hahahaha, seems 4143 doesn't like been on any duty atm. When it eventually gets going its fairly quick, just a lot of the DLAs seem to have VERY slow snail pace acceleration, would've thought this would be addressed as especially pulling out into busy traffic they need be able get off the mark quick
