They're mainly rural services and all under contract to Cheshire East. That's why I find it odd that Cheshire East Council only found out last week, presumably around the same time D&G were posting it on their own website with only a couple of weeks notice.

Interesting conversation on the Crewe & District Bus Users Facebook group where Laura Crane, the Vice-Chair of the Highways of Transport committee for Cheshire East Council says that D&G have made the decision to cancel the 70 to 73 Nantwich rural services and the council only found out about...

The Cheshire East Bus Service Review 2024 actually recommended that the 72 and 73 be retained with extensions past Nantwich along Middlewich Road to Leighton Hospital. Only the 70 and the extensions to Lightwood Green and Burleydam were to be replaced by Go-Too...

As well as the Nantwich rural services 70-73 being replaced by Cheshire Easts Go-Too service from September 1st, D&G are taking over the 41 Chester to Whitchurch service from Aintree Coachlines. There's a few other alterations to other services, with some due to school and college changes...

And when Warringtons Own Buses finally get their new fleet of electric buses delivered some time this year (maybe), instead of being red and blue, they'll be yellow and black. The reason Warrington gave for the change to yellow was because Manchester and Merseyside will both be using yellow. A...

On the X75, that only ran for about a year. It started in September 2012 and was dropped in August 2013 as confirmed by this from the web archive:- https://web.archive.org/web/20130725000636/http://www.bakerbus.com/bus-timetables/ By all accounts it was ran as part of a Stoke Council Local...

No, PMT ran a K34 from Crewe to Haslington, every half hour, which I think started around the same time as The Harrier ran. Midland Red North ran it at some point in the 90s as well (I think), but it was a seperate service to PMT's 320 or 20 to Hanley. The X38 was only short lived as it was from...

I can only ever remember the 38 being hourly as run by Arriva or any of the predecessors. There was a minibus service run as The Harrier that ran between Crewe and Sandbach via Haslington for many years which started early 90s (I think). I've got vague memories of Bakers running a similar...

A quick search of Google Images shows that Delta Force has locations in Australia as well as the UK (and NZ and Canada). This page shows the same bus from the opening of a centre in Adelaide:- https://www.paintballgames.co.uk/delta-force-opens-new-paintball-centre-adelaide/ They also have a...

I saw that 1001 coming down Legh Street on Tuesday afternoon. Very nice, still not sure about the yellow though!!! I was coming back from Bradford on the train on Saturday and I noticed a line of Warrington double deckers parked up behind the big Kammac Logistics warehouse on Dallam Lane next...

It's from the Railwaymedia site of NW timetables in the Arriva section:- https://www.railwaymedia.co.uk/Timetables/Arriva-North-West/n-DhVHVm

The 31 has a limited Sunday service from Winsford to Crewe to coincide with visiting times at Leighton Hospital but I think this ended late 80s. This 2006 timetable shows the 37 evening and Sundays replaced by 36A and 36B - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xRZbCsticKhIf6tAsXooTNEYDSUS_aJw/view

Yeah, I've seen single deckers leave Nantwich with full loads going towards Chester especially on a Saturday. It was Julian Peddle in Buses mag that said the 84 route to Chester was the real money spinner out of all the routes Arriva abandoned, although it would've been interesting to see how...

As you remember, it was the 38 that went via Dunham, which with the 37 gave a bus every half hour or so between Warrington and Altrincham. That carried on under North Western, Arriva, Warrington BT and Warrington Coachways. Arriva gave up and Warrington BT extended the 5 to Altrincham competing...

At the time of deregulation in 1986, the 94 had a couple of extensions beyond Wrexham, both very short lived. One was to Chester (no idea how often), and on Mondays and Fridays one journey was extended to Crewe. This was probably to connect with trains, but didn't last much further than 1987.

Interesting idea, re-using the TSW logo from the 1980's.

I know Crosville Wales diverted some of their Deeside services through Blacon but the only major outbreak of competition was around 1996 when St Helens based South Lancs Transport started high frequency minibus services on several Chester City routes. It didn't last very long and they were soon...

Interesting site. The About Us page names the 'Lethers Travel Team' - https://www.letherstravel.com/about These are apparently the same people who work for Cross Street Cars in Swindon, except that Simon Lether is now called Andy De Witt- https://www.crossstreetcars.co.uk/about In fact, a...

http://foam.merseyforest.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Northwich-Woodlands-Map.pdf It's not that far really - from Anderton to Northwich town centre is only about a 30 minute walk. I did the walk from Marbury to Northwich via Neumanns Flash a couple of weeks ago which is really nice, and...

There is the option to get the 1600 to Northwich and wait for the 1645 back to Warrington, but its far from ideal. There is also a lovely walk from Anderton through the Northwich Woodlands that brings you out in Carey Park at the back of Asda and the town centre.
