That's one of the worst that I've ever rode on, too! I feel sorry for the passengers that get it when it's commonly on the 311...

2322 was the opposite to 2232 that I had on the 61 the other day, 2232 was quick and that one must have had something done as it didnt rattle anywhere near as much as the last time I rode it, as for 2322 I will be avoiding that one if I can.

Oh yeah! 2232 is a fantastic bus - I'm glad that it didn't transfer to Green Lane with the 68 as it would be a massive loss for us!

Bootle werent daft when the 68 went as they seemed to get rid of the biggest X-ANC sheds with maybe the exception of 2231 that is pretty good these days, the biggest bonus was getting rid of the biggest shed that is 2216 although I am still at risk of catching that not only on a 68 but also on a 7,8 or 9.
Yeah 2231 is really good, the reason it got sent away as it's got a chronic reliability record which is a shame as it is a nice bus. Had 2216 home on my 8 today, just a shed in all departments. 2229/36 are sheds as well, Bootle have done great in dumping their sheds on Green Lane I agree...

2216, 2229 (definitely!) and 2236 are definitely good outward transfer choices for passengers of Bootle's services. 2219 and 2237 were alright - well, I liked them! It was disappointing to see them go. 2215 and 2217 were alright - just as bit rattly. I haven't had 2231 since it was first LED' (yes - years ago!) - it was off the road a lot before it was "P&P'd", so I'll blame it on that!

2231 you and most of us know has had lots of engines, but agreed is a nice bus to ride. 2216 was my shed of the year for 2011, will take a lot to beat that one.

GO ON 2229! 
I have, runs it close but not quite as bad.
