I hope that someone down that way has OCD and pays for the partial repaint and re-applying of the fleet numbers.

Cheers feel free to post news here as I only seem to get Dart SLF here and some yahoo groups since a lot are either dead full of nonsense or gone
The Dartslf is full of Speculation and theres a couple of people on there that post false Fleet news. I have a Fleetlist that i update regularly (in fact my next update is tomoz) on my website ( www.the2002busgroup.webs.com )
Used to be on The North West forums they closed august last year after 2 hackings and a host server fire thats was the best one everyone talked about all operators not just the big ones. Your always welcome to suggest fleetlist for my site since its mostly the NW with the odd outside fleetlists thrown in
Any ideas what Parrs executive have as a fleet seen adverts for them didn't realize there Liverpool based
If your on about the North West Forum i think you are then that was my Groups project, i was shut down as there was just not the user count to justify continuing running it

Never heard of Parrs tho

As i say my Updated Arriva North West Fleetlist will be online within 15 Mins, just making a few updates to it
