Arriva Buses Wales - Chester Depot

RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Chester Depot
Anybody know are there problems today on the 82s??? The 12:40 turn off northwich didn't pitch up till 13:11.

30 minutes late isn't good, although the driver was quite apologetic for the delay.

Does this service use the minefield that is the A51/4/556 .

This road is a hell hole at times , constant very slow moving traffic , this must be one of the busiest two way roads in this part of Cheshire .

IIRC it's the A556 once out of sandiway. Then again getting up castle hill out of northwich & through hartford can be taken at snails pace sometimes.

One of Chester's Sapphire branded Enviro 400s was on the 82 to Northwich today. I didn't get the ID but it was a 15 reg example. A bit of an upgrade for the 82 passengers I reckon!

How are the chester drivers finding the 82 work so far? A couple I've chatted with were a bit annoyed about GHA collapsing.

Also annoyed like the rest of us are at the way GHA ran their business. Seems too a few rival drivers from stagecoach/arriva kinda knew GHA wouldn't have lasted much longer.

I think it may be permanent, saw it again today and it had Arriva Cymru legals on the side as opposed to Arriva North West ones.
