There are now 24 Cadets here, probably more to come. They seem to be taking over!

Hybrids are due early 2013 and there are 33 coming to Laird Street.

Personally I don't favour them myself, I'd rather a Dennis Dart SLF any day over the DAF SB120, I feel the DAF SB120 is trying to be something it isn't like it's trying to be a bigger bus than that of a midi bus, rather than the Dart where I feel it is what is is.

It shall be interesting over the next few weeks to see how things plan out though.

If - they were pigeons it would be time for a cull!

I hate Cadets as much as Jeremy Clarkson hates Caravans[hate Caravans as well]if i could ever get the chance to destroy one i would.

Hmmm, interesting idea for a Bus related Top Gear type of Show.

Perfect way of putting it, I'll soon be getting sick of the sight of them, seen at least 5 Cadets and three Pulsars yesterday on the 403/413 as well as that horrid S848 RJC lol

BTW i expect delays later Today between 17:30 & 19:30 with the Olympic Torch Relay going through Birkenhead, its starting on by Duke Street Bridge, going through Birkenhead Park following the 410 from The Queens pub to Hamilton Square then to Woodside.

Excellent news, sounds odd but to a bus enthusiast in one respect it might have it's plus points, more motionless vehicles to capture etc.

Has X782 NWX been in service yet? if so has any one got any pictures of it out?
