North East Buses

Well i was wondering how long it would be until i could report this!

Marshall Capital 7652 broke down at Mid-Day in Liverpool Airport!

Gillmoss SPD 33175 has had to be drafted back into service due to Bus shortage and found its way out on the 21 (Liverpool - Northwood)

Hi, any idea on what Plaxton Darts are left and where please? also how long do the remaining stragglers have left?

Cheers

With the biggest grin possible i can confirm that following a lot of Speculation Wright Axcess Floline V138 DND has gone back out into service to Rock Ferry Depot on routes 1/2 bringing the Floline count to 4 and gut feeling says more Buses will arrive at Rock Ferry within the next few days due to PVR increase in line with service 38 extension!

Was able to catch up with Sole Marshall Capital 7625 today, have to admit it performed very well, to think this Bus was only put into service at Chester as they was short yet its lasted months (and outlived most of its type with Arriva!)

The 10:33 79c service from the Adelphi last night didn't turn up, after about half a hour 2522 went down to Liverpool One and appeared 30 minutes later (also late), found out the earlier one had broke down. Then coming down Wavertree high street, I spot yet another Runcorn cadet broke down! This amounts to a lot of breakdowns this month, can't even blame maintenance as cadets are useless at other depots as well.

Shockingly DLA 4014 is still out on the 32 tonight!!! been over a decade since a Decker ran out lates and since the last driver for the night got on as i got of it looks like it might just last the night

Next trip it will do is the 21:05 32 from St Helens - Sutton Mannor!

Finglands will pass to First on February 9th.

Just aeen it down Robins Lane heading towards Sutton Manor.

It's not a decade since the last Decker in the evening as I remember Skelm having one of the ex-cross river Olympians on the 356 around 5 or 6 years ago.

yes but that was ran of skem depot, am just on about the St Helens Depot, to be honest its a good achievement to get it

As a driver friend said to me as I was coming back on the 10, it's the working of the year and we are only in January - says it all really.

Its been reported that Marshall Dart 7651 is also on loan and will be there for a short time before both go to Yorkshire Tiger and 7652 will then be replaced by 7637 (if that doesn't sound correct my apologies)

A couple of 04 plate ALX400s will be going to Gillmoss garage for football duty due to extra buses being required as its the Merseyside derby
