D&G Bus

RE: D&G Bus
122 has been triple tracking today. The vehicle on the 87/88 is actually 105, which is showing as not tracked since Monday.

RE: D&G Bus
3 Citaros tracking on D&G routes in Blackpool Transport livery.

RE: D&G Bus
Apparently the Citaros are technically new arrivals at High Peak which have been loaned to D&G until some High Peak Enviro 200s are transferred.

And on an unrelated point it looks like the 49 route transferred from Crewe to Macclesfield this week.

RE: D&G Bus
It seems Centrebus didn't decide vehicle 43 was past it, as its been transferred from D&G to Centrebus North and repainted in the new Centrebus livery.

Looks like 2 Solos based at Adderley Green are being used on the new 340 route today.

Although, it's claimed Crewe currently have a driver shortage, so it's perhaps not surprising which depot are operating it.

#49s are run by macc now as apparently crewe have the age old problem of not being able to keep drivers

Crewe doesn't exactly have a lot of competition locally, with Mikro only having one route and Arriva pulling out. The depots for Stagecoach and First aren't exactly on Crewe's doorstep.

The 49 does duplicate a bit of the 89 and N1 routes, so shouldn't need too much training for Macc drivers to pick up. Although it does duplicate a bit of the 48 and 82 routes as well.

RE: D&G Bus
D&G avoided social media for years. Now they have a limited presence, they do a post about training staff in Macclesfield on using an Iteco bus washer. Obviously, welcome but kind of publicising they're doing what passengers and drivers expect operators to be doing, especially in winter.
