Only darts I've seen recently is 2226, 2235 and 2268. Think the rest have gone now, not seen 2244 again either.
To be honest right now there is a smaller PVR isn't there with the odd service being on a smaller frequency, the 61 for example is every 15 minutes rather than every 12, so probably an ideal time to send some buses for repaints and keep the darts going a bit longer. I do agree that the darts will probably disappear when he DLP's arrive, how long is this rail replacement on for as that would have an effect when it finishes as well.
Ends Towards the back end of august I think, it's a few weeks behind schedule, when these finish is imagine the darts will go if the DLPs haven't already arrived and 2708 will go back to st Helens.

August 24th when Moorfields re-opens.
What I have seen in Bootle's yard sitting in the car park is 2704, it was still there on Tuesday when I last passed there

Most probably correct.

Like I said in an earlier post, the X-reg Darts should be gone by September.
Then again, plans change. Best to wait and see what happens on this one....
4423 was on the last 52A off town last night.
4416 was on the 52/52A today (on lates too). Also, 2511 was on the 62.
2924 (CX58 FZF) is the latest SB200/Pulsar1 to receive Interurban paintwork and new seating.

This means it's the fourth 58-plate Pulsar to get a mid-life refresh, joining 2918, 2920 and 2921.
Expect the remaining 58-reg Pulsars to be done soon.
4629 is on the 63 tonight!
