7660 acting as a battle bus on East Prescot Road before, seen displaying out of service with people on and a Matrix van following it.

Where will the 310 be likely to start/end if the change does happen

It will be the same as a 311 except the way it will go around Maghull will be different , also I believe it will not be calling into the asda in skem.

I think the 350 is coming off too

I'm a regular user of the 311 and can safely say that the service is well-utilised in Lydiate in both directions; I can't see the sense in changing it in favour to serve an already-proved quiet area. Plus, serving Park Lane instead of Moss Lane and Dodds Lane would have made more sense to maintain the connection to Ashworth Hospital...! "Interesting" times ahead - roll-on the new timetable...
Cadet 2517 was on the 311 today (luckily not one of my buses!). Also, unreported-as-of-yet 2244 is on the 345 evening Skelmersdale board!

Id agree with you there as a regular user like yourself I do think it would be unsuitable for the 311 to be changed especially at peak hours, if anything I think the 311 should be increased to a 20 min day time frequency! I'm not surprised about the 350 its always relatively empty.

Don't know if this has been reported yet but 2243 is here as well, seen it on 61 this morning. Had 2241 on 61 this morning, this is really not bad, not really any major rattles and doesn't have any idle vibrations, good speed like a dart should have as well. Put it through P&P and it won't be a bad addition to the fleet.

2244 (X244 HJA) DartSLF 10.7m/Pointer2 seen on 52-NETHERTON route today.
So which Marshall's been shot down then?
7660? 7661? 7662? or 7667?
