Was speaking to a HTL Driver i know last night who told me almost all the scrap Buses ect have now departed for Scrap, I never asked for a full list of what has gone but he said X338 SKJ has gone while EKM is still on site.

With that in mind, I take it HTL has an empty yard now and someone else is operating services from today/tomorrow?

The only stuff that has gone is the Sprinters, former Mereylink LTs, the two Renault Masters and MX05 SMO. None of the withdrawn service buses have yet to depart.

I hear DK04 SUH, MX54 KXW, DK08 AYU, SN06 BMU and the 05 Plate Dart are due to depart for Scrap.

Most HTL Buses (26 at the time of posting) are now on Bus Times

Speaking of HTL, any idea what is going on with YY17 GPU please? Haven't seen it since around August, since it's a local around the West Derby area.

I'd assume it might get added to the Bustimes fleet list for said company, but I can't assume it was loaned to HTL, and is now back with Manchester Airport

GPU went back a few weeks ago, it was only here while YJ61MOU was being repaired.

HTL have adopted Stagecoach’s ‘Sorry! Not In Service’ display it seems

DK04SUH was a regular on the 883 early morning service a few years back. I used to see it going down Higher road in Halewood at around 4.30 am when walking down to Leathers lane for the first 79 into town of a morning.
