Former Bootle 2219 was on the 15 today, and if this bus rides even half as badly as it looks, it's a poor allocation.

To be honest, this is a poor allocation regardless.

2207 has broke down on the 6 outside cronton college, engines cuts off when break is applied.

This happened to me a few months back on a P&Pd bootle X ANC dart on the 350 it cut out at every bus stop when the driver put the handbrake on all the way to maghull the driver tried revving it but to no avail this is a common problem with darts.

Dart 2204 broke down on Allerton Road about 8 o'clock this morning whilst working a 68

7672 on the 15 today.

Whilst 2577 was on the 8 and 2580 was on the 10B, great allocating skills there!

Just remembered, 2551 appeared on the 14 yesterday.

Had 2219 home on the 68 tonight, first time I have sat on this in ages but what a heap, gears shocking and bus is slow, this also sounds like it has the engine out of one of the withdrawn marshalls. This is probably the worst bus that I have sat on so far this year.

Had a knackered engine since at least September that, shame as it was once a decent bus. A lot worse Darts at Green Lane though (such as 2207, which I had today and was suffering from some nasty vibrations in idle) On another note, Pulsar 2957 appeared to have broken down at Page Moss at around 15:00 today. Bus was there with it's hazards on, dests off and driver in the cab on his phone so presumably only just packed up.
