RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Chester Depot - 33109 - 25/07/2016 12:30

Anybody know are there problems today on the 82s??? The 12:40 turn off northwich didn't pitch up till 13:11.

30 minutes late isn't good, although the driver was quite apologetic for the delay.

Does this service use the minefield that is the A51/4/556 .

This road is a hell hole at times , constant very slow moving traffic , this must be one of the busiest two way roads in this part of Cheshire .

IIRC it's the A556 once out of sandiway. Then again getting up castle hill out of northwich & through hartford can be taken at snails pace sometimes.

One of Chester's Sapphire branded Enviro 400s was on the 82 to Northwich today. I didn't get the ID but it was a 15 reg example. A bit of an upgrade for the 82 passengers I reckon!

That'll be the spare one. CX15BXY 4645 with the Queens 90th Birthday special branding. Smile

Pulsar CX07 CUY is here, not sure where it came from but just seen it on the 3.

How are the chester drivers finding the 82 work so far? A couple I've chatted with were a bit annoyed about GHA collapsing.

Also annoyed like the rest of us are at the way GHA ran their business. Seems too a few rival drivers from stagecoach/arriva kinda knew GHA wouldn't have lasted much longer.

I think it may be permanent, saw it again today and it had Arriva Cymru legals on the side as opposed to Arriva North West ones.
