MX61 BBZ has turned-up at Mistral's yard in Knutsford in the past few days.
Can anyone confirm the date it left HTL?
TIA
Not sure on exact date but it returned around the second week of January.
The rental Enviro200 MX59 AVY also went back to Mistral at the same time.
A few unusual allocations to report today, long Solo YJ12 GXP was on route 266 (Garston Circular), while YJ12 GXR was on 166 (Garston Circular)

Onboard dk08azo on the 250 and the driver has simply pulled up on county road parked half on half off the kerb and stopped at a shop

Seen this happen before with a HTL driver in Widnes. Stopped outside a chippy at night with two passengers on board and came out minutes later with a cone of chips...

All i can say is that being in a customer focused retail enviroment that it is not very professional to do that , but some bus service timetables i have seen do not give you much room to do anything at the beginning or end of the journey .
Can see both sides to the argument .
Bus operating the 159 currently broken down in fazakerley hospital. And the bus on the 236 has been taken out of service as a dog has been sick all over the back seat feel sorry for the staff who have the unpleasent task of cleaning that up.

There was an article in all the national newspapers a couple of years ago about a Stagecoach driver in the North East I think who pulled outside Greggs and went to get his dinner leaving a double decker full of passengers waiting outside for 5 minutes.
Surprisingly Stagecoach's response was the bus was slightly early and reached its final destination on time so were unwilling to take action against the driver.
It does seem very unprofessional though.

Still unsure of usual allocations by SN06 BMO (Green Dests Dart) was on it yesterday the bus goes on A St Helens duty in the Everning so this may explain the 06 plate darts on the ASDA
