I had their Streetlite on Saturday on the 132 from the Trafford Centre - Wigan, Totally unsuitable for the Service as you need full size Buses on here to cope with Capacity, Apart from that it was a really good Bus, Fast, Warm, Rattle free, Comfy, It ticked all the boxes for top Quality!
Also on Saturday i saw a Solo on the 126 and had Tempo 57 on the 132, both again unsuitable for the Trafford Centre Services, The problem with the 132 is it interworks with the 715 and the 715 does not require full sized Buses but the 132 does, These routes dont work well together.
Preston Bus breakdown van currently in attrndance to S400SLT at St Helens bus station.
A de branded preston bus solo is out on 635 today YJ11 EKW
One of the remaining New Livery darts was on the M58 Yesterday i passed it at Junction 5
