Cheers for that Danny, much appreciated!

2551 was on the 18 today. Maybe they're allocating it to Pulsar boards rather than Dart boards?... Only time will tell!

2994 broke down whilst on the Belt this afternoon, appeared to be an electrical fault which started with it's doors not opening from the cab and it's hazards still on, before the doors eventually wouldn't close. The driver turned it off, and it wouldn't come back on. And then, much to the passengers "delight", five minutes later the bus drove off...

Absolute chaos in town this evening, some parade left Queen Square close for a good half an hour leaving buses (including 2313 on my 8) stranded. And then, Lime Street heading into town was closed leaving a queue of buses from Lime Street Station right back to TJ's! Buses have been running dead and short left right and centre, I went from Page Moss-Huyton a little bit later and noticed a number of buses (mostly St Helens Pulsars but the odd GL Pulsar and Stagecoach bus) running dead.
In:

2404

+ Possible other Marshal
So it looks like the LS ALX300s are permanent now, wonder if 2404/9 will get proper blinds instead of the famous Sheil Road Circular cut out (I know 2404 has the cut out already, maybe it'll get more permanent blinds soon.)
2670 on the 9's today.
Aww I'm a bit gutted about 2721. It was my favourite Renown whilst at Speke and retained it's original purple "Le Bus <79/79D>" stickers for ages!

Atleast till the day it left the depot!
7657 was broken down at bus stop just past Eaton Road yesterday lunchtime, fitter was in attendance. Pulsar was broken down just before Dovecot shops at the same time, didnt catch which one it was.

I saw that 7657 in Huyton yesterday morning and it sounded absolutely dreadful, not surprised it broke down one bit!
2409's parked at the front of GL, still looks like it's fitted with LS blinds.

Pre-service preperation. I can imagine for it to get blinds out of either 7612 - 4
