How many Cheshire Connect branded buses still remain and is this brand about to disappear?
I think the two Optare Versas which were route branded for the 88 service were the first to appear. They pre-dated the formation of Cheshire East council by a couple of months and I think the Connect 88 branded buses (which also include a DART) are the only Cheshire Connect branded buses which don't feature the Cheshire East council logo on the reverse. However, the 88 route now has new route branded Enviros so I would imagine these will be repainted in the near future.
The other Cheshire Connect branded DART with GHA has recently been given the registration plate AA02 GHA.
GHA also acquired a number of Cheshire Connect Solos from D&G Bus but I've heard these are only a temporary addition to the GHA fleet until GHA acquire some more of their own buses. GHA also had a few Cheshire Connect branded Solos before they acquired the D&G Bus ones.
I understand D&G Bus retain one Cheshire Connect branded Solo.
Bakerbus had KX59 GOC in Cheshire Connect livery. Is that still the case?
The 3 x Wright Cadets and 1 x DART that High Peak used to have for the 19 and 27 routes were de-branded and sold - the DART finished up in Lancashire and the Wright Cadets in the North East.
Any others?
