Thanks!
I don't think any did sadly - I believe Stagecoach Manchester and Go North West did the Parklife buses this year
Not sure if this is an unusual allocation but I sighted 24166 on the 14 around midday.
Additionally I noticed this evening whilst riding one of the MMC's that the ticket machines have some sort of card scanning thing away from the cab windows. As I don't pay for tickets with a card, what is it technically supposed to be? TIA.

It is so QR codes can be scanned, so in theory MyTickets and the like can now be scanned on these machines.

They are QR readers. They're not live yet though.

According to Good Morning Britain Granada news, the strike was suspended on Thursday while the staff voted on a revised offer.

Strike on the 30th was cancelled for a Vote to take place, new offer was rejected therefore Strikes are back on
Stagecoach Gillmoss were off the road today, but the EL1 route between Ormskirk and Edge Hill University was operating. Has another garage operated this today as part of the service contract with Edge Hill, or did Gillmoss?
From what I understand Preston ran it today with management driving, it remains a Gillmoss operated service.
Does anybody know what Preston used on EL1 yesterday as EL1 didn't seem to track yesterday according to BusTimes.org.
