RE: Arriva St Helens - St Helens Rider - 20 Mar 2014
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.
Arriva Rhyl - HaltonMiniMarshall - 20 Mar 2014
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.

RE: Arriva Bootle - Y961 XBU - 22 Mar 2014
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!

RE: First Manchester - WrightRenown21107 - 25 Mar 2014
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.
RE: Halton Transport - WrightRenown21107 - 25 Mar 2014

RE: First Manchester - WrightRenown21107 - 25 Mar 2014
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
RE: First Manchester - Y961 XBU - 25 Mar 2014

T416 OUB is definitely withdrawn and has possibly even gone for scrap now as I seen it in Moreton Depot about a month ago in a poor state (looked like fire damage).
T418 OUB
T421 OUB
Both see normal day service!
