Yup Smile
Rumoured is the X reg darts, but depends on what comes here in the morning!

Apparently they are due to be getting X-ANC Darts for it?

Oh great, that's all we need. Ragged X-ANC's. Still, quite a step up from a Marshall Dart in a lot of departments!

Most X-ANCs, like X224 ANC (2224), are the same, or even worse than most Marshalls, by far! There are some nice ones, like X227 ANC (2217) and X232 ANC (2232), however the majority are bad buses. (Hopefully, this change will see-off X229 ANC [2229].) I'll take a look at what's on there tomorrow and post it.

Yesterday, Marshall V663 DVU (7663) was unusually out on the 350 - I forgot to post it.

Supposedly, It all depends what arrives in time for the first 68 of the morning, There's probably something all ready sitting in the depot as we speak!

To be fair the only thing that will absolutely confirm it is if we see a GL bus on the 68 or somebody sees a number of Ex Bootle buses in Green Lanes yard. Obviously all the X-ANC's arent going to go are they, it will probably be just enough to cover the 68, incidentally whilst we are on it, anybody know the PVR of the 68.

PVR is 9 on weekdays and 8 on Saturdays. You would expect at least 10 buses to transfer to Green Lane when the route changes hands.

Thanks for that, Lucky Green Lane (not), these will end up on other routes as well, GL will then have a number of sheds on their books.
