Volvo B10BLE/Wright Renown 2716 Y716 KNF was noted on the 68 (Bootle - Aigburth Vale) at around mid-day on Allerton Road!
This one still had the LED set to Aigburgh Vale, while most of the regulars on the route have had it corrected to Aigburth Vale!

Looks like Green Lane have picked up 2133 as it is on the 12 right now. Naughty boys have 2236 on 10b right now.
RE: Arriva North West - Green Lane Depot - V671 DVU - 02/08/2012 17:27
I do wonder if that is a 7557 replacement or in to replace one of the dire 2103/2310/2313 trio. I hope it doesn't get to the point where Darts one year older than the buses they're replacing constantly come in until a new order. Quick question to anyone who's rode 2133, is it any good or just a typical Dart shed?
RE: Arriva North West - Green Lane Depot - K853 MTJ - 02/08/2012 17:39
2133 is actually ok! Decent engine, the odd rattle but I wouldn't avoid it!
RE: Arriva North West - Green Lane Depot - V671 DVU - 02/08/2012 17:42
Cheers for that mate, something for me to hunt down when i'm next out (granted that'll be a while yet!)

2133 was one of the better darts at when at SH. It was a lot better than the R***ABA's.

Out of 2132 (now at shrewsvury) and 213 3 that was the better anyone seen 7558 this week not seen it anywhere

Good to hear a decent Pointer bodied Dart serves this depot once more. 2103, 2310 & 2313 all remain in use so no doubt 2133 is a direct replacement for 7557?ALX200s R310 CVU (2310) and R313 CVU (2313) were still in service yesterday - both of them were on the 8/9 in the morning. I didn't see Plaxton Pointer R603 MHN (2103), though...
DAF/ALX300 V410 ENC (2410) was unusually on the 9. I managed to get a photo of it:

Marshall T616 PNC (7616) broke down on Victoria Street in Liverpool.

Roy Johnson queries the withdrawal of 2273 on the St Helens fleetlist suggesting it may have transferred here alongside 2133. Is anybody able to confirm that? If not, if the Green Lane regulars could keep a look out over the next few days, it'd be much appreciated! :-)
