Yes Solo SR 104 suffered a smashed mirror in Pickmere and was unable to work the 12.30 88 Knutsford - Altrincham. Thats at least 3 times in the past week an 82 branded bus has been on 88s. Monday bus 33 was on there all day

Can't remember if it was Mon or Tues that I saw 30 on the 82.

Not to sure how true this is but here goes, I was told the other day that apparently the branded 82 Enviro200s are coming off 82s shortly to be replaced by Optare Versa's from somewhere as apparently the Enviro200 are having problems with a lack of power especially on Kelsall Hill, the Enviro200s will be staying at Winchem though and going instead on 288s.
Also is there any truth in what I've heard in that D&G have bought some Streetlites from Isle of Man and if so where will they be going?

Will be really good to see them, very smart buses. The Enviro200s look good but Enviros are boring now as Chester is flooded with them haha.

Bus Vannin appear to have 6 large Streetlites. If I was fleet manager and was told Cheshire needed Versas and the large Streetlites are coming I would probably send the additional Streetlites to Adderley Green as direct replacement for the T** TYB series Versas, to free them up for Cheshire. Then do a swap of the existing Streetlites at Crewe with the Solos at Adderley Green for fleet consistency. Although, that would mean Crewe has additional buses, not Adderley Green, if the latter need additional buses then some Enviro 200s could move south.

Apparently 4 ex Isle of Man long Streetlites are expected in next couple of days and being sent to Stoke for painting. Enviro200 33 was meant to go to Crewe tonight to have its branding removed but accident damaged Solo 45 went instead.

So are the long Streetlites to replace Versas moving to Cheshire or is that not happening?
I've noticed 134 and 135 have moved back to Crewe.

I thought a bus service normally has passengers!
