Arriva North West - Winsford Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot
If things get worse as we all know they're doing ATM I'd think the commissioner would have to take action. It runs that late at times (up to 30 mins) how are they allowed to get away with it?

Arriva's customers who pay good money for their tickets deserve a decent reliable service surely? Another question. I have is why won't arriva just simply plan more time into the 130 timetable? That way it'd stand 1/2 a chance of keeping time better.

As for the 82, arriva seem fairly happy still splitting it between winsford & chester depots although the turnaround is fairly tight. Doesn't leave much recovery time if they're late out of chester or particularly northwich at rush hour which can be an absolute nightmare.

I think 2951 has been at Winsford for a while now

Local media report regarding the Sunday 130 attached.

Also includes info on D&G 88 and Howards 200.

Looks like the Sunday 130 issues are being solved - withdraw it.

Has anyone got a link to the full proposal? Obviously that's a Wilmslow focused article so might not mention other affected routes.
