#74 is back in service and on the 62
#25 broke down on the 716 Cowley High service, and was later towed to the depot inhouse.

Credit to St Helens Rider for these additional changes to the Widnes -- Saints services:
PC0002691/92 - HUYTON TRAVEL LTD, 37 WILSON ROAD, LIVERPOOL, L36 6AN
Variation Accepted: Operating between Widnes Town Hall and St Helens, Hall Street given service number 17A/17B effective from 04-Nov-2012. To amend Timetable.
They're really having quite a shake-up of late!

HTL currently only run 17Bs, so could it be that the odd Saturday Merseytravel 17As are to be operated by HTL as well, given the registration includes 17A?
Timetable will probably be online in a few weeks anyway so we can find out!

Bus 77 on school service 696 (Page Moss - Prescot) this morning, looked tired and past it's best.
RE: Halton Transport - Raawwwrrr! - 10/09/2012 16:35
#25 was later back in service either on a 14A or 62 (The correct one I dont remember)

They are exactly that mate, in need of a refurbishment. Shame really as they do have some life left in them!
Bus 20 on the 26 today with a coating of black on the rear of the vehicle!

Number 1 was working the first 26 this morning. Not sure how unusual this is?
RE: Halton Transport - K853 MTJ - 10/09/2012 18:19
Fairly unusual but not massively, once schools are completed, one works off there (The 44 IIRC) onto something like the second journey of the 26. I'd imagine the bus from the first journey then goes onto the 2A/14A or something like that
RE: Halton Transport - anw2015 - 10/09/2012 18:21
Thanks for the confirmation!

I'd imagine the bus from the first journey then goes onto the 2A/14A or something like thatIt used to be that way with the 44, but scince its extention to Runcorn, the 44 now just uses a bus allocated to schools (usually #71 - 79 or #21 - 33) and #20 just goes out as it would from the depot onto the second 26 of the day. Its a bit pointless though, the extention to Runcorn, as I've seen no-one use it evening or morning, and I was under the impression that the Astmoor site was closed last year
As Danny said, the first journey is a Cronton and Kingsway College one so sees a bus that will later be used on a different service afterwards.
