Wondering if anyone can shed any light on a bus I keep seeing around this time in the morning and in the evening, it has a grey and neon green livery and this morning I finally got a clear sight of it, it had palladium written on the side and I recognised it as a Blackpool Transport Enviro200 MMC as in the article below:

https://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/busin...th-2441834

Anyone got any idea what it’s doing this far east of Blackpool? I keep seeing in Failsworth most often on Mersey Road North, no idea if it in revenue service or not.

Further to parts on Facebook and speculation on here, there appears to be an exchange of vehicles between depots to utilise capacity.

It is rumoured Runcorn are receiving 3047-3061 and 3077/8 from Green Lane.

Southport and St. Helens are exchanging some Pulsars. Hard Southport losing Cadets 2631/3/4 to Birkenhead is part of this plan.

Please comment if you find out any confirmed movements in this thread.

Due to payments bouncing First / DNW / GNW / Arriva / Vision will only issue get me there tickets if you pay by cash.

They are saying it due to fraud but it more down to the payment system as often they take payment overnight and not at time you buy the ticket.

So people can endup spending the money then the bank would bounce the payment if customer would go into overdraft. I had it many times when I have got a first week on card and they ended up blocking my card due to they when to take the payment after I then spend the money on the card.

Due to the way the system is setup System one would still want payment if the payment was bounced.

But I also think they doing this also to push there own tickets.

Notices & Proceedings for 2021 will be posted here.
