Also on the 8 was Renown Y719 KNF (2719). ALX200 R313 CVU (2313) was on the 18 with 2133. Prestige R152 GNW (2402) and Marshall V658 DVU (7658) were on the 15 with 2717.

Aigburgh Vale is still on some destinations, as Plaxton Pointer 2 X231 ANC (2231) demonstrated today:

Had the misfortune to ride on 7614 7672 on the 6 today one is bad enough but two !

Felt like i was on the Dodgems with a headache to boot after i got off them
I'd imagine that the cadets and 2475-7 coming over shortly, that will send off 2402/2403, 2103/2310/2313 off to the scrapyard
I wonder if 2133 and the earliest Marshalls will bite the dust if the Cadets and 2475-7 come? 11 buses coming, 2402/3/2103/33/2310/13 are six buses so if all them come we should be seeing off 7612/3/4/6/8, might not work like that though they may want to get rid of the MTL condition Marshalls first...who knows?

3065 was involved in a minor accident on London Road today, looked like it had side swiped something. 2405 is back in service, sporting a nice shiny front. 2574 and 2721 on the 12 and 2576 and 2719 on the 18. (Feel sorry for the passengers on the 18 right now, that's taking one hell of a diversion this weekend!)
Isnt that 18 going up to the Jolly Miller and through West Derby Village before returning to normal route or is there further diversions.

Commanders normally work on the 14/18/26/27; 2576 being on the 18 is a normal allocation.

Pulsar 2 MX09 JHY (2960) was on the 8 in the afternoon:

Marshall V630 DVU (7630) was on the 14 in the afternoon:

7625 on the 10B late this afternoon, meanwhile I had 2203 on the 9 this morning, this rattles a fair bit although a lot of the rattling seems to come from under the bus and just seems like a few things could do with a good tighten up. However, other than the rattles this one moves pretty well and seems quite nippy just like a dart should be.
I have seen 2133 on the 10B and 2402 on the 7.
2643 was a relatively unusual sight on the 7 this morning, this is rare for a daytime but obviously not for an evening, this follows a commander operating the same board yesterday morning.
