DAF DB250/ALX400 4097 replaced failed Volvo B10B/Wright Renown 2723 on the 300 today, a very rare working. Unfortunately it broke down in Maghull on the return trip.

The remaining Marshalls, 7636, 7653 and 7654, were all out - on the 42/44, 43/46 and 49 respectively.

4090 was on the 41. 4095 was on the 43/46 with 4104.

I'm glad that a Marshall has been preserved. This is fitting as this was one of the final batch of new buses for MTL. And it is from an ex-MTL garage at that! I wonder whether Southport is the final garage to operate regular Marshalls now?

4102 was on pr2 yesterday !

Really wasn't sure they would go under bridge at kew park and ride

2726 ( think I've got the right fleet number) was in a serious rta in haskayne today.

Oh not another one, they aren't having much luck at this depot over the last year or two are they. Hope everybody involved is OK.

Hope everyone involved is ok. Haskayne is where 2724 and 2727 had their accident a few years back.

Driver and passengers are ok, with only slight injuries. The bus is slightly more seriously injured and, in my opinion (which Mrs DEM will happily tell you counts for nothing!), will not be repaired.

Is there a particular accident blackspot in the area , like where a road narrows considerably or something similar.
