I think it maybe a new addition to the fleet..

Surley legally they can not use a van/minibus like that on public service

They'll definitely need a larger vehicle to cope on the 38 when the 5 stops running to Altrincham during the day!
The first 'free pass' run (0945 ex Warrington?) is probably going to be packed.

Ahahahahaha! A Transit! On a public service! I don't know a whole lot about Warrington Coachways but they always seem like a good little operator. Don't know about the legality of this but taking into account passengers having to open and close doors (does this come under heavy lifting??), and the standard ford transit minibus is a little bit cluttered with seats and doesn't really have a central gangway. Its a real funny one this!

According to form its because there is a problem with the warrington coachways livered mercedes benz and thats whst they have used to cover it while its missing.

It is legal to use a minibus in service if it has the right licence. Kingsway link ran by MCT has a bus service implimented.

Surely they have a spare standard bus that could be used instead of a normal transit minibus.
I remember a number of years ago they used a Metrobus on the 37/38, couldn't' they use one of their double deckers normally used on schools.
And whats happened to all their Primos?
