3114 and 3115 were parked in the wash in Bootle Depot at about 16:00 today.
4622 on the 60 today. 4418 on 53.
How many boards does the 52 require?
Nothing unusual in that being on there, I think that there are 4 spares, so they generally see service on 60 & 61.

Saw 3120 (MX12 KWN) heading away from Hawthorne Road this afternoon, "Not in Service" on its LEDs. Another off to the Midlands, perhaps?
Still on the subject of Pulsars, MM reported (at the start of the month) that 3022 (MX59 FGC) was in the SH bodyshop following an RTA.
Expect it to return to service soon, possibly in Interurban livery??
I Seen 3119 on Monday heading to Bootle depot going through Bootle Strand as well. So probably getting prepared to go off to wherever it is going.
The 53 now seems to have at least one Enviro400 on it most weekdays. Zoe's Place 4426 was working it yesterday.
More Pulsars spotted today 3116 & 3118 going over Duke Street bridge towards the Wallasey tunnel from Laird street depot.
2519 has just blown it's engine on 61 on southport Road roundabout when I was on it. Came to shuddering halt with pistons sticking out the bonnet and what looks like a turbo pipe left behind. Made a very loud bang, so that one could be off for a while.
Had 4208 on 60 this morning, quick one this and has improved since I last had it although very loud breaks. Several of the upstairs windows are badly etched and not from its London days so somebody has been having their fun.
An ex-Chester Plaxton Dart with a green £10 sticker by the doors is currently parked in Bootle Depot in the same place that an ex-Wales MPD was parked in last week!
