Roadworks between Dentons Green & East Lancs. Road, expected to last for a few weeks. Delays have been common recently on both 37 & 38.

I assume that with the new timetable, 37 & 38 no longer inter-work ?
One snag with the rerouted 38 heading towards Rainford is the lack of any bus stop near the junction of Kiln Lane with Bleak Hill Road/Millbrook Lane, creating an unnecessarily long walk to/from the nearest stops.

37 and 38 run separately now with no interworking.

2710 is working the 18:20 34 off Leigh, I am informed by a mate that it shouldn't be on there as X reg's are no longer allowed on it?

Better to have an X reg bus than no bus at all but yes you're right

Whats the problem having X-reg's on 34/34As? As far as I know these routes aren't tendered in anyway and are run commercialy so in theory any vehicle can be used on the routes no matter what the age unless I'm wrong

I had noticed a few B10's rear boards displaying 020, 034 and once 0034 since the bus review when texts at this particular depot changed. No numbers though but before then there was one, perhaps an ex Liverpool or Birkenhead that displayed 0034 when on the 34.
