I had 3020 on my way home, quite surprised to see it to be honest as normally a DLA for the trip that I get. 7551 passed me when I left work and it did seem to sound quite alright as when I seen it this morning I was on another bus.

It avoids me, however it shows up when I'm out of its' way or on another bus!
7551 was great (for an ABA, anyway!). Again, ANOTHER R-ABA puts most of Bootle's solitary Darts to shame...

Interesting speaking of the 61 and DLA's, I only seen one on the 61 on my way home but didnt see which one.

why is 7554 back at LS
RE: Arriva North West - Bootle Depot - T42 PVM - 12/07/2012 22:29
cadets are not the best of buses when it comes to being on the road so guessing its there for that reason

"Interurban" Pulsar 2 MX59 JJU (3028) was unusually on the 56/56A today - buses of this type in the new standard livery aren't usually allocated onto these services. Also, Marshall V638 DVU (7638) was unusually on the 52/52A this evening.

tried to hunt down the my good old Favourite Dart 7551 yesterday with no luck I am really really happy that it has been saved from the scrap man for a short time
