Starting a fleet list on the operator for my website. So far I know of Solos 55 to 60.

Sightings would be of help. (Anyone who contributes any information will get a mention on my website)

As always, the link is in my signature.

Have a Halton fleetlist myself, if I can help you with any of it send me a pm and I will.

Halton now habe 2 bluebird orions, will try and get a pic of them tommorow. These are fo use on the 200 service in Runcorn.

Yesterday was a dart fest on the 10A with 34794,34797,34800 and 34808 all noted on there, 34794 and 34804 was on lates aswell with 34808 on the last stagecoach 10A!

I think Gillmoss are now short of Buses and with all the 02 Plated SPD's now reallocated elsewhere so if they have to reinstate any more Buses it will be the ex CMT Renowns

The duty which was run by 4014 in the last few days is today run by a 58 plate Soli (didb't manage to fleet number) - what a severe reduction in capacity.

7634 is on the 20 tiday and there are a few Darts on the 35/35A today (2269 & an X ANC).

719 is on 34/34A - obviously displaced from 35/35A.

Hi can anyone give me the fleetnumbers and registrations of the special liveried buses please as i am comprising a list of buses i want to get in Manchester on Saturday and they are part of the list? Thanks

Also is 40416 the last Wright Dennis Dart left with First in service?
