I wonder if the Hybrids used in Bolton will allow some of older Solos to be withdrawn if they get transferred to Merseyside?
Well where else is there for them to go, do cumfybus operate anywhere else.
Tyrers have an authorization for 35 buses at farnworth and that's virtually how many buses are in service there. How are they going to run the additional buses from Sunday for the cumfybus routes if they don't have enough disks?
Saw a hybrid Solo SR on the Formby bypass before registered NK61EFY. Seems they have acquired some from Go Ahead North East- this one being their former 629.
I wonder if MX08 DGU & MX08 DGV are back from Tyrers yet?
No not yet. Still operating in Bolton.
MX09 MJO involved in a rta with some railings in whiston while operating the 239 today.
