BMC Falcon 401 is back on the road i got a ride on it on Saturday and it was quite nice and quite fast too
That is an awful allocation, i understand three Commanders have arrived from Bangor them being 2504\6\9 and 6 was reported on the 11 last week
Was some idiot claiming the bendies were out and i fell for it typical me, on a visit to Manchester on Saturday i saw Queens Road Renowns X699ADK and R625CVR in the new livery so that would make at least 4 Renowns in new livery and also there are at least two B6s them being T703\4PND

How many buses are required for the 200 and how many of the Fiats do Halton have?
4 more Ex Bangor Commanders are at Bolton them being 2506,2507, 2512 and 2513, These join sisters 2505,2508 and 2510 that all came over a couple of weeks ago, 2511 is still VOR as its got outstanding work.
Daf Ikarus 2565 work has been halted so the Pulsars getting ready for sapphire can be prepared at a faster rate.
Dennis Darts 34099 and 34100 are at Gillmoss on loan 34100 is out today on the 17 both are 54 reg
I hate people like that, someone had put photos on facebook of them on the 582 but then a few people noticed the photos were old so that rumour was ended

T421 OUB
Both see normal day service!
