These darts should be transferred to GL and put on a route like the 26/7. As a regular traveller on that route, the Pulsars are generally empty in the off peak and you are rarely travelling for more than 15/20 mins. 300 is much longer travel time and you will have a sore backside after enduring the urban 90's for more than 20 mins.
Just a thought since I have never seen it but can deckers be used on the 300 or is there low wires in the 'rural' part of the route since I cant think of any low bridges that would cause a problem.
Southport's previous R-WVR and ELC Pyoneer deckers made appearances on the 300 from time to time, so there shouldn't be a problem.
No problems with deckers on 300's, remember back in the day of ribble deckers were the norm. If these darts end up on there all the time, then its a disgrace.
With the recent influx of the 22* series X-registered Dart's and the return to action of 3044, has Southport's remaining fleet of Marshall's depleted further or is 7639 still the latest withdrawal?
Ex-London Gemini LJ51 DHX has been given fleetnumber 4122.
How come thats different has the ex london gemini's are in the 42** series.
surley must be a mistake more likely 4212 or 4222
4122 is a B7 at Speke. Most prob 4212

Whoever applied the fleet numbers got a bit mixed up, it is now numbered 4211!

It has today transferred temporarily to Bootle for use on the rail replacement service whilst the Northern line is shut between Sandhills and Southport. It will then return to CR, mainly for schools.
