Also 4484 is on the 12, it's just passed me as walking into town
4548 (12 branded) is on 36A Circular
2716 was on the 12's on the 12th, the 11's on the 13th I don't think it is the most reliable, 2473 is another that always seems to lose time on the 11's,
4484 was on the early 36A this morning (seen in Prestatyn) so a swop must have taken place through the day
4481 was the 07:51 11M from Prestatyn this morning and was about 6 late leaving, but after many stops and issuing of weekly tickets eventually arrived in Rhyl at 08:20, 5 mins after its next due dep time, this should have been the 17:15 11G tonight but was a no show and 4554 eventually came from the depot and left 15mins late
I've been seeing a lot of single decks on the 11 lately ... a Myllennium on there today ...

Due to double deckers being needed on the X51 Denbigh-Wrexham during the week, the singles often end up on the 11... but I was out on Saturday and the 11 seemed to be all Coastliner deckers
I also saw the Myllennium on 11 yesterday, kinda want to go on it before it is retired as I've never been on one before

Liverpool's mylleniums are probably diabolical, the noice and idle vibrations are hysterical so I wouldn't bother but I've only been on a couple
Renown 2727 was noted today in Llandudno on Sapphire route 12.

Green Lane's Myllenniums are good in my opinion. 2473 was a decent bus last time I went on it

Good point but I was on one a while back and it just shook and shudderd. Then again and it had a booming engine so never again for me. Horrible things they were though I don't think it was as bad as 2262. I think 2262 got a gearbox donated to it which improved it massively from hysterically awful to probably one of the best buses at St. Helens.

2473 is currently on the 12 and I've just been on it (albeit a very short ride) and I found it to be nice, not rattle/idle vibration free but not as bad as a Pulsar for example. Decent bus for its age id say.
Also 2716 was on the 11M, it was my first time seeing it in the flesh (and hearing it!
When 2716 was at Speke it had a sound totally different from classmates 2717-21.
I thought that the sighting of 2727 yesterday was mega so 2473 on the 12 is quite sensational.

Your not wrong! It sure is sensational. In saying that however it's still quite a poor allocation taking into account the way in which the 12 is marketed.
Hmmm 2262 a good bus? Each to there own I suppose.
