Dart 2217 has broke down by the Railway bridge in Huyton in the middle of the road whilst operating the 6. Driver was directing traffic around it. 7670 was saw going the opposite way being driven by a fitter so presumably that was it's replacement.
I've heard that 7612 T612 PNC is withdrawn pending fate?
Wonder what is wrong with 7612 and will this finally be the first marshall that will be confirmed as withdrawn.
Does anyone actually know what's up with 7612 and has the first Cadet arrived to replace it? The end is nigh for these Marshalls, and as much as I hate them I will miss them a little bit.
Interesting sighting this afternoon of Dart 7672 on the 10B.

7638 may well have replaced 7612 as this was on the 8 today.
Wierdly 2103 is still in service and worse saw it lunchtime on the 6 to Warrington
More Darts...yipee -_- Cheers mate! Saw 2103 and 2310 going myself this morning, surprising to see them going still. Out of interest, what time and where did you see 7638 today? Might try and head out later to grab a quick ride!

Age and the amount of buses becoming available from Bootle, Laird St/Speke due to Pulsar arrivals
7612 is less reliable then 2303/10/13
I don't see where the sense is in replacing T reg buses with V reg buses, but there you go...
The R reg buses are actually quite reliable, despite how awful the trio are it's rare to see them off the road.
Reece's point was more that 7612 was unreliable as a bus hence its replacement! Nice to see it's still as reliable as it was at St Helens though!!
7612 developed a fault which lead to, or at least encouraged further, its hastily withdrawal from the fleet. Its direct sisters have proved somewhat troublesome recently too, though continue to ply their trade from Green Lane.
