Another Ex Stagecoach Gillmoss Liberator has entered service with JPT R873 LHG Fleetnumber 433, no workind dests yet.


RE: JPT - Wright Dart 40416 - 31 Oct 2013

Another ex CMT/Stagecoach Merseyside Wright Liberator entered service with JPT yesterday a their 433, this was running round yesterday with hymm numbers in the windscreen as unfortunately due to a shortage of vehicles it was rushed out into service.

Another addition to the fleet is a Caetano Nimbus Dennis Dart, not sure of the reg unfortunately

Hired in Enviro 200 was out yesterday on 17 shorts between Middleton-Manchester Shudehill

Also East Lancs Dart S3JPT is back on the road after receiving a new gearbox and new engine and apparently is quite a pocket rocket

Apparently the 2 Plaxton SLF Darts that I reported on recently are away at the moment being converted to single door and extra seats fitted

Also according to one of my contacts at JPT she told me that a few more vehicles are on their way to JPT shortly but she doesn't know what they are yet, as and when I find out I will let you know
