09 Pulsar on the X1, couldn't see which one. I had another ride on 3139 today, few rattles from the assault screen this time (Didnt notice this last time as I was sat at the back) as well as a light cover hanging off! Not even 1 week in service!
2419 is on a 79c rota today - lovely!
Had a meeting at Halton Lea on Friday so managed to capture 3136 on the elevated section of the busway from a vantage point at the top of one of the multi-story car parks.

Photographs HERE and HERE
I was in London yesterday having a look at the Olympic set-up next to First London's Lea Interchange depot. I think I saw 3138 in the distance but could not get the registration. Is 3138 at Runcorn or in London? Anyone confirm one way or the other?
3138 is indeed in service in Runcorn, 3106-35 are in London. Smile

Thanks for this. I have had another look at my scribbled notes and I think it was 3132 that I saw at the Games, not 3138. My writing does not improve with age!

Its a regular on there now from what I see, I had it on there on Friday and seen it once or twice on there during that week.

It should be here in the next few days. All of them have the "Connextion" branding and branding for the X1. 2934-8 are returning to Wythenshawe (the source hasn't put 2939 down so I don't know if that's a genuine mistake or 2939 is staying for now)

Info credit Ray Barber.

2938 should be going this week, 2939.2940 are staying along with with 2948-2953 they will replaced by the Gas Buses in the New YearSleepy

It follows it's normal route to Halton Lea then it covers the 3A3C to Halton Brook Boston Ave, then the Halton 62 to Picton Ave then back on normal route at High St

Owing to the Weston Express been closed for 5 days the 3c is unable to gain access to Weston Point from Weston Village,

As a result of this the 3C is operating as a 3A
