Seems to be spending it's time on the 58 now, can't see it being around much longer.

at the.same time as replacing the X reg darts the likes of st helens,green lane and southport have the B10BLE to relace as well as the X reg cadets too at speke and nirkenhead so there will be quite a big investment needed that year .

There is loads of those as well right across the board, will be interesting to see how they go and it and with what.

No X reg cadets left at speke now they all got transferred to birkenhead a few weeks back only 55 and 07 reg cadets at speke now hope they go soon too as there to small for our routes.

the X reg darts are 200 but the B10's date to jan 2001 mate so they have 4 years left (thankfully)

Had 7569 on the 61 on my way home last night, this is still quite a good little bus and better than most X-ANC's. However, this had the remains of an NFS notice in the window and hardly any internal ads. Wonder if the withdrawal of this is imminent as in a couple of weeks maybe.

2946 (MX09 LYH) SB200/Pulsar2 seen running round with partially-failed LEDs.
Today it's off to Netherton displaying '53A --------TON'.
I actually noticed it on Tuesday displaying '62A --------ARK' and '62 -------ANE' when it was turning around for Penny Lane, but I didn't bother reporting it as I thought Bootle would've repaired it by now. Evidently not!
Should've been easily fixed by now
Keep an eye out for it...
