That is YX09EUP. It’s been used on the 248 between Huyton and Prescot quite a bit recently, alongside some schools, as whilst the schools haven’t been open, there hasn’t been much demand for these services.

Look's like a second bus from HTL is down for accident damage, there was a smash on Croxteth Hall Lane between one of the buses, a van and two cars this morning.

Bus involved was YJ12PLZ, unlikely to return to service for some time.

Dont think there having the best of luck at the moment as they must be left short with having to use the 6 seater merseylink bus on service work on a night.

Considering their short of buses at the moment and are having to use inappropriate vehicles on various tendered services why can't they hire some vehicles in temporary until they can sort themselves out?

Probably just the cost of hire buses isn't worth it with a few longer term VORs due to come back.

A new addition, former Torbay Buses Optare Solo L15PPN has arrived.

DVLA shows the bus as untaxed with tax ironically due today, wonder if it will see service soon, registered in November 2006, so not as 'modern' but it still shares the same model year with the Darts at least.

Surprised HTL have bought a 56 Plate Solo when it will soon be too old for Tendered Services.
