2403 was out on the 8 earlier, it appeared to be booked off for 2207 much to my despair as 2403 was on the duty I get. I did ride 2207, a once good bus is now an absolute shed. Also, 7624 appears to have had that dire idle vibration sorted. Had in on my 9 this morning, wasn't a bad bus if not a bit on the loud side.

7557 has always been troublesome mainly with it's altinators, obviously something that the engineers can't quite get their head's around for a longer period lol

I also recall 7558 and 7559 also being at Green Lane for around a year a few years back too.
Ah yes, 7559 was at GL for a short period between moving from LS and Wales. Cheers Tom
So instead of blanking Wirral blind they have put a sticker over Woodside. Really looks cheap and typical LS bus a random number on back better than 007 being on the cadets lol
Hope 7557 stretches its legs and does some other routes I'm sure it could do 12/13 just put Liverpool 12 or Liverpool 13 on dests
Andy, it can't do any other routes other than the 26/27. As has been said many times before, it's got a cut out blind which means that is the only GL blind on the dest. I managed to ride it today, shed!
At least this makes it easy to find!
I guess one reason the 26/27 was chosen is because it is a circular service and given the blind arrangement is a card in front of the proper blind (similar to 7904 last year) the blind always reads the same, no matter which way around the loop it goes rather than an outbound/inbound destination like most routes would have.
