They were making a deal about having an "all electric" fleet, which doesn't really apply if they keep a few old diesel deckers. Although, given they've won and lost contracts both in Warrington and outside, since the order was placed, I suppose it's difficult to keep a fleet the right size for everything, that's all electric. Would they be able to order something like 2 extra buses, once the entire fleet is delivered? Or would someone like Mistral be able to lease them 2?

It seems there might be a decker out on the 5, can anyone confirm? Thanks in advance.

If it was, it looks like it was just one trip each way - https://bustimes.org/vehicles/wbtr-bu74yve-2028?date=2025-11-06

If no one saw it may checking a later working would give an idea?

Apparently there's a decker out on 5A now.
It should do another run on the 5A later, so if anyone sees it, confirmation would be appreciated!

Was made aware by Cllr Allen Makin of Bold and Lea Green Ward this evening that WOB have a new route, 922 Rainhill to Omega starting on the 1st Feb, funded by the LCR

Based on bus times tracking WOB are using 4 x Volvo DDs as RRBs between Stockport and Manchester yesterday and today. The engineering works last until a week today. There must be other RRBs in operation but the other operators are presumably not tracking on bus times.

Yes, I saw a couple of them earlier.

Article about the new HP1 service for Haydock Park:

Confusingly, the link to the services page at the bottom actually seems to point to a Facebook page instead.
