I have rode on 2344 and 2345 many times and they are actually both good busses in my opinion. Maybe whilst 2344 is at Speke, it should run on the 75 or 79, but definitely not 80/82/86. The stagecoach darts in the day are always packed to bursting and by time they reach Leece St/Hardman Street, they are too full to take any more passengers.
I've heard a rumour that 2229 Is also here, Although - I don't trust it my self!

No it shouldn't be run on the 79. It really shouldn't!
There really aren't any routes at Speke which don't require at the very least full-size single deckers. Using a Dart on a double decker route should be an absolute no-no. Totally and utterly unsuitable for the 86, 82 or 79.
I'm a little surprised Speke accepted that as a loan, just too small for all routes, shows how short they are at the moment. They must have quite a few buses off the road at the moment.
4114 and 15 are finally in for P+P thats why the DLA's are here and to add to it 4151 is off road and that is why 2344 is here that makes 4119 the last B7 to be old style. also Speke are hopeing to have there buses fully P+Pd by the end of the year!
Once the B7s are one the rest of the commanders will be going in to be done
3313 still hanging on in service working the 699 today, while 4157 was on the 86.
2469 was on the 78 today.
Apparently 2404 and another ALX300 is now at Speke from Green Lane.
