Just seen a photo on the Thomas Hardie Facebook page of two hybrids parked at the back of Laird Street, furthest from picture appeared to be registered MX62 KTD. They really suit the livery they're in IMO.

Looking great....but still can't make out the numbers!
edit - comment on said Facebook page lists the two as 4493/4.

I saw a photo of MX62 KTC at Bolton depot with the fleetnumber of 4491...but of course won't stay like that as there's already a 4491 at Winsford! I guess we'll find out soon.

Common sense isn't regularly applied in the bus industry
An updated 487 timetable is now up for the changes following the 17th of Feb, 1 or 2 morning buses where missed off and have now been added.

They should put the letter "H" in front of the numbers so its like "H4491" standing for hybrid.

Are any of these Gemini hybrids due elsewhere in the country anytime now, could be that 4700 was for a different fleet if that was the number.

North East, Yorkshire & one of the southern fleets are due some too.

I went past laird street this afternoon and the geminis do look much better here than they do in that photo taken at wrightbus. Very smart!
Interesting day for allocations today too, considering the depot is short on buses and all enviros should be on 432/3/7 with the odd one on 407/71/2, 4410 was on 403s this afternoon.
3127 is on 464.
2442 has just broken down at Mill Park on a 418, saw a 12 plate pulsar, think it was 3124 but didnt quite catch it, has taken its place.
Also saw 819 going past arrowe park hospital this afternoon from upton village direction out of service. Presumably heading to heswall to take off 886.
Also quite a few geminis and even 4002 on the 437/2/3.

And if they're due at the same time or very soon then 4700 could have belonged to one of them fleets then.
