Can you give me a time (accurate as possible) and place when you seen it please mate? I want to work out when is the best time for me to get it!

Hi mate it went back sorry not in service due to it running out of water .

Too late now anyway mate! :P Was hoping you'd reply more or less straight away! Not to worry though, thanks anyway! Smile
Think the bus was trying to scream out that keeping it out on peak journies on the 79C would be a terrible idea! :P

I managed to photograph Plaxton Pointer R418 COO (2298) yesterday evening on the 79C in Liverpool:

2516, 2529, 2533, 2534, 2536, 2542, 2545, 2554, 2555.
2553 sticks in my mind as one that may have been done but I'm not 100% sure! I've completely lost track with whats been done!

2528 is P&P'd as well, saw it at Liverpool Airport last Friday and the back was covered in black smoke.

Cheers luke! Already noted that one in the fleetlist but not in the above post!
This was a bus once restricted to Runcorn locals due to it's unreliability, it seems old habits die hard as far as the black smoke is concerned!

The production of black smoke has been something effecting a number of St Helens based Cadets too recently. Seems a reasonably quick fix though as vehicles have spent a couple of days over the pits once the problem arises to have it sorted.

It can be anything from filters to serious engine problems. Most likely is that a sensor/filter needs replacing or the exhaust is on its way out.

I like the new display setup for the 110. So much better than the old cluttered layout.
Good to see 'Windmill Hill' as the destination yesterday too!

Sure i seen 2547 in P&P today on the 79C, it was something 7 anyway!
