RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot
After chatting to a driver today, it seems the 37s are once again going to start calling at winsford train station. There's a layby in the car parj for em use but doubt it'll last as already today buses were struggling to get round due to badly parked cars.

Copey which B7s have we currently got & which are we waiting for still to arrive?

4101,4103,4104,4105 and 4106 are presently at Winsford. 4104 is parked up though with a serious engine fault so could be off for a while.
I believe we are getting 3 more B7's presumably 4100,4102 and 4107 which will replace all the remaining DLA's.

705 I believe has come to Winsford for MOT preparation. It has been suggested however to keep 709 at Macc as it is branded for Silktown but I don't know if this will happen or not.
Other fleet news - 4107 has arrived but has expensive gearbox problems to deal with, no sign yet of 4100 and 4102 even though 2 DLA's 4098 and 4156 are withdrawn.
The other B7's appear to be settling down after some initial problems.

4100 got dropped off at St Helens today for a repaint (credit to arriva Southport page) and 4102 is still at Southport undergoing axle repairs.
