It was KU52 YLD, I seen it pull away from Arrowe Park and it sounded awful, the back of the bus was covered in black from the fumes, i remember it sounding bad when it was with Impera...

The only ex Impera bus left to go out is KU02 YUH. I wonder if it will gain L.E.D blinds, i hope it keeps its flip dot display.
KU02 YUH (102) Currently has no dests fitted
On Saturday, 355 was on the 22 ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelmill...817105826/ ) whilst 308 was on the daytime 80 (unusual to see an Evolution on a day board from what I've seen on Saturdays during the past few months). Also, 821 was on the 213 ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelmill...otostream/ ) - first time that I've noticed a Spryte on the service since Avon took-over it.
102 (KU02 YUH) on 17/18
One consequence of the 41 and 42 running later will be to see if there is some agreement in the longer term that the 40 and 40A dont follow each other out of the Mill Park Estate , at least let them running a bit further apart .
What could Avon Buses do to defend their routes from Stagecoach?
X822XCK seen on the 22 today
Went on 213 today and it was a great ride. Nice Alison too!

I managed to photograph that in Birkenhead on the 18:

I also managed to capture a bus exchange in New Brighton (307 seemed to have been replaced by 548 on a 10/10A/11 board as the driver of 307 drove off on that, however 507 came in moments after 548 had gone!):

That is quite odd as I saw 507 on the 93 at around 3pm in Birkenhead
