The b10's are only loans and will return to st helens once the rail contract finishes.

Looks like the Darts are running on borrowed time....
Interurban livery ex-Speke 2510 (CX05 AAF) SB200/Commander is now here at Bootle.
Seen today on 54-THORNTON route.
As Speke gets new deckers and the Commanders are displaced to Bootle, it looks like the X-reg Darts will be looking for a new home...probably PVS!

The Commanders are very good replacements for Bootle's Darts if you ask me. In my opinion the majority of the X-reg Darts were poor with dreadful seating and ride quality - I for one certainly won't miss them once they've all been withdrawn. The Alexander ALX200s however I will miss as they were always pleasant to travel on with comfortable seating and decent ride quality. In terms of Darts I have always thought that the P-MBUs and V-DJCs were much superior to the likes of the R-ABAs and X-ANC/HJA/OBN Plaxton Pointer IIs
Talking of Darts 2235 I think it was is on the 345 today

Indeed it is, myself and YJ59 AZA have it on the 345 to Skelmersdale!

2232 failed on rails tonight. It finally left Liverpool at about 23:45 with a fitter following it but then failed again on Stanley Road whilst heading back to the depot.

The Dart on route to Bolton also apparently Broke down...
RE: Arriva North West - Bootle Depot - mathias - 01/07/2015 14:43
And the Speke imports just keep on coming.....
2511 (CX05 AAJ) SB200/Commander is on 54-THORNTON route today.
2634 (CX07 CRU) SB120/Cadet is on 58-NETHERTON route today.
Time may be running out for the Darts, but 2233 (X233 ANC) DartSLF 10.7m/Pointer2 is out there today on 62-PENNY LANE.
Grab your farewell rides while you can, it could be your last chance...
