It was like that for a couple of days last week but had disappeared down to Crewe by Friday. I presumed it would have been repaired while down there.

Unless it's a different one. If it's the same one then it'll probably have reached the maximum number of times it can be put out in to service in a year without all the PRM features being functional

Plug piece for the 38 in today's RouteOne.
;
States that vehicles will be branded.
;
Leaflet obtained from Delamere House doesn't mention branding but refers to clean modern buses.
;
Also mentions contactless on all buses - I think someone was asking if they accepted it?
;
White Enviro200 still here too.

Do we know which vehicles will be used on the 38 weekday and Saturday services - branded or not?
I noticed, unusually, the 88 seemed to all be 28 seater Solos yesterday so I wonder if some of the bigger Solos or Enviros have moved to Crewe in preparation for the new service? One of the 88s looked like it was standing room only yesterday heading towards Knutsford from the Wilmslow direction.

The ex IOM Streetlites are intended for the 38 and have received modest branding for it.

3 of the newly acquired Streetlites are route branded for the 38. There are curerently 8 Solos at Wincham, including big ones 137 and 140 which would explain all small ones on 88. Versa 28 is at Crewe likely for destination repair

With schools and colleges returning this week and potentially some services having more school/college pupils than last year, that could mean some interesting loadings this coming week.

D&G have registered a 32 - now showing on staffordshire website operating as far as Upper Tean
RE: D&G Bus - mikestone - 18/09/2019 13:08
Timetable now on website, strangely has its layover at Upper Tean and returns only six minutes in front of the Potteries service.
RE: D&G Bus - knutstransport - 26/10/2019 09:04
Due to TfGM funding cuts/low passenger numbers most of the evening Altrincham-Wilmslow services are being withdrawn, as are some Sunday Altrincham-Wilmslow services and the 737 service.
