One of the X reg darts was parked at the roundabout on Southport Road in Bootle tonight when I drove past with a BMW or something stuffed in the back of it. All the passengers bring treated on the pavement. Looked a mess.

So which Marshall's been shot down then?
7660? 7661? 7662? or 7667?
7660 was recently used as a 'Trojan' bus to catch potential vandals on Bonfire Night.. I believe it has visited Laird St but not sure if it has seen service from there..

7662 was still in service yesterday, 7667 has been missing for ages, wouldn't surprise me if 7660 is the next to go, given it was used as a battle bus. Could be completely wrong mind.

Looks like it could be the end for 7660 and 7667 then, with only limited time left for 7662 and 7661.
Remember, these are the ones due to be put into the reserve pool on the latest fleetlists.

We may see a bit more time for 7662 due to the incident with the dart last night. I'll just add that I hope everybody involved in that incident was ok.
RE: Arriva North West - Bootle Depot - X782 NWX - 08/11/2013 15:38
Just got speaking to a driver he said 2 marshalls got scrapped last week one of which was because it went over a bump and the suspension went apparently
RE: Arriva North West - Bootle Depot - MPTE1955 - 08/11/2013 15:54
Funny you should say that, I was on a marshall quite recently, maybe 7663 where it went over a speed dump on Honey Green Lane and I thought the wheels were going to come off it was that bad. It was certainly that or 7667 as old coloured and wasnt 7662. (When I say recently I am talking say last two months)

Last nights incident with the Dart is likely to have involved 2265 according to a depot source.
