Apparently, Plaxton Pointer 2s R551 ABA (7551) and R569 ABA (7569) are on the 52/52A and the 53/53A respectively today. (Credit to a source on Facebook.)
Pulsar CX58 FZE (2923) was unusually on the 58 this evening.
It would seem that the problems due to the roadworks on Queens Drive are having a knock on effect for surrounding areas with West Derby Village and Eaton Road a lot busier affecting the 61. My 61 tonight more or less caught the one before, minor roadworks at Stopgate Lane are also not helping.
That will be because they are starting outside the Jolly Miller all the way down to the Tesco Express. The roads at the side of the Jolly Miller and West Derby High are suffering due to the temporary traffic lights. The 15 from GL depot has been re routed to operate via the Queens Drive to try and avoid any problems but that seems to have been a waste too.
7551 was on the 52/A today with 7569 on the 54

Again?! I don't think that it's ran on anything else since it entered service...! Confused

That's unusual. I haven't seen it on there since the X53 days! LOL
Spotted an Enviro400 on the 311 in ormskirk at 5pm last night heading for skem couldnt id it though.
Plaxton Pointer 2s R551 ABA (7551) and R569 ABA (7569) were both out today - 7569 was on the 58 and I THINK 7551 was as-well, however I can't confirm that (I didn't see the front of it, however it was leaving Liverpool via the 56/58 route).
7551 was on the 58 today as well
Had 2322 on the 61 today again on a board that used to be DLA operated, wonder if the board has been changed so that a single deck will operate the journey that leaves Bootle at around 16.55. Anyway 2322 is a slow sluggish thing which is unusual for a dart really, don't know if this was down to the driver or not, if it was down to the bus this will be the slowest dart that I have ridden in quite some time.
