Ahh so it'll be that one I saw getting prepped yesterday morning, it was in the depot parked next to the other Geminis with A1 to Aintree Races on the front.
Have Ls got that much of a vehicle shortage, are there quite a few vehicles off the road or is there or reasons. So many loans.
J999 ABW is here

Just seen this going towards the M53 about 40 minutes ago
The Myllenniums are here until September.
It still doesnt answer the question though is Laird Street short of buses for some reason .
6 new Streetlites (sorry if that is spelt wrong) and 2 57 plate Solos to replace 819/886.

I really hope the 6 new streetlites are for the 418/419 to accommodate it's 6 pvr. This service hasn't had investment in decent buses since the R-reg darts first ever came

New buses for a low cost unit route, personally somehow I can't see that happening, but I'm not going to rule it out. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

In regards to buses off the road, there's a few DAF SB120s, Volvo B5LHs and Volvo B7TLs off the road at the moment.
