Later on I saw a second Versa in the same condition, but was unable to identify it. It may simply have been the same bus again or could have been sister vehicle MX58KZF.

Since the Cheshire East retendering earlier this year, the 88 is operated by GHA rather than Vale Travel and they receive a lower subsidy than before. This may provide a clue as to why the buses that were bought new for this service have moved elsewhere on the GHA network.

I can confirm that only MX58KZE has passed to Bryn Melyn. - It is to receive white based BM livery at some stage in the future.

MX58KZF is still working the 88 service. Strangely the other vehicle working the service recently is the Solo S280AOX.
