Which T-PNB dart was it that was off road for a while and went missing after the closure of Liverline, was it 2317 as if so it is now parked up in the main depot in the car park that you can see from the top deck of the 61.

4030 & 4425 Were both on the 53/A Today

Just had a chance to check up properly and it was 2317 that went missing for a while, so looks like it will return to service here, I shall keep an eye out for it.

2924 (CX58 FZF) SB200/Pulsar1 got a problem with its brakes, keeps making an hilarious squeaking noise when it goes round corners.

4064 (T304 FGN) DB250/ALX400 Interurbanised decker also out today on 54-MANN ISLAND carrying two passengers and LOTS of fresh airWink

Pulsar 2 MX09 LYD (2943) was unusually on the 60/61 yesterday night.

Yesterday, Plaxton Pointer 2 T821 PNB (2321) and ALX200 X264 OBN (2264) were both unusually on the 52/52A - strange for a Saturday.

Enviro400 MX09 LXE (4423) was unusually on the 53 and DAF/ALX400 S259 JUA (4089) was unusually on the 53/53A.

Cadet DK55 FXD (2519) joined DAF/ALX400s T303 FGN (4063) and S252 JUA (4082) on the 311 - very unusual trio of allocations there!

2234 was on the 62 this afternoon, also passing the depot on the 61 , 2317 was still in the same spot that it was in last week which is in the car park, probably hasnt been out so if it has not been wonder what the future holds for this dart shed.

2317 used to be a really good bus. I remember when it turned into a "shed" - it was when Bootle ran the C2/C3/C4. It had a loud, one-pitch-only cooling-fan - even the driver, who I knew, said it didn't sound very good. I wouldn't mind if it came back into service for a while; it'd be nice to ride on a "childhood bus" again.

The T-PNB darts were nice buses once, shame how they have ended up really, they went downhill when they came off the city circulars.
