Arriva North West - Winsford Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot
Gotta say I feel for any drivers at the mo who get lumped with a mellor strata.

First up they rattle like buggery over any bumps, driver mate of mine from macc says he's melted so far this week. Like a greenhouse with them being such small cabs & a postbox sized cab window can't be much ventilation except a small cab fan.

Anybody seen 4699 on the road yet?

I've not seen it so assume its still being worked on prior to entering service. Do wonder as well if winsford will get any extra deckers cascaded in from anywhere else too, the college loadings can get mega packed plus with all the school kids.

It was a sad day when the pair of VLW deckers 4215/4216 went off the road. Yes they were old but still seemed to go well & seemingly had loads of life left in em, but hey hum.
