It is because they are intended to be used on the 329 although as well as your sighting on the 89, I had one (can't remember which) on the 10A on Tuesday afternoon.

Post all about Arriva Rhyl depot here!

Just wanted to say what a joke it is putting a MPD on a busy midday 12 ridiculous allocation, and I don't know how rare it is but one of the Coastliner Gemini 2s was also operating on the 12 didn't manage to get a number.

me and my mate had Plaxton Pointer 2 2232 on the 345 to Skem Yesterday afternoon, it never sounded to good from the start but when we got onto the motorway oil started to leak out going all over the rear Window and broke the rear LED's! I do wonder if the Bus made it back to the depot as it would of again had to go down the motorway!

7634 on 33's today.

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

I think a 3rd S reg Renown has also gained new Livery.

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

Correction to my earlier post both are 04 reg

Must have been loans because 2506 is now at Bolton

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

is that T-MAK Renown still in use at Bolton Depot? its been a while now since i seen it

60663 you mean it is withdrawn

Any idea behind the reason of its withdrawal?

There are now only 2 T reg solo's left in service them being

T418 OUB
T421 OUB

Both see normal day service!

T412 OUB also still sees regular service and has done since February (at least). T416 OUB is definitely withdrawn and has possibly even gone for scrap now as I seen it in Moreton Depot about a month ago in a poor state (looked like fire damage).

Any idea behind the reason of its withdrawal?

It's currently being converted into a training vehicle replacing 60308. It's in the paintshop at Bolton this week.
