Thanks for that. I couldn't remember which one it was. It had some quite bad damage though.

Plaxton Pointer 2 R551 ABA (7551) broke down about an hour ago on Peterborough Drive in Netherton whilst on the 58. A fitter in Vivaro YD61 ADX was there, pouring something into the engine. The bus was gone about 20 minutes later.

Cadet 2638 was on the 53a today.

They certainly do now, gone are the days when they stuck to the 54.

Spotted marshall 7626 V626DVU parked on crosshall st this morning waiting to go out on an early 56 duty its still in old livery but the rear end has been repainted in new livery looks like its had repairs of some sort? But wouldnt it have been better to repaint the whole bus?

Think it had a new back end and yes they should have painted the whole bus, however this bus has been back out and like that for a good few months now.

Plaxton Pointer 2 X235 ANC (2235) was unusually on the 345 this morning! I barely see this bus on ex-Skelmersdale services. It was dreadful on my journey from Skelmersdale, via the M58, anyway... Idle vibrations were unbearable and the clanging and rattling on-board was horrific!

Yes, it did have a new back-end fitted a few months ago. It would have made sense to have repainted the whole bus, however the paint-shop were very busy at the time with accident-damaged buses and with Southport's "P&P" treatment - not that I'm implying that the bus would have been repainted if the work-load within the paint-shop was lower...
