They where a lot more comfortable than the darts and marshalls and would of been ok for a small independent to upgrade there fleet.

Absolutely, from a passengers point of view, a lot more comfortable and better seats than both marshalls & pointers, didnt rattle you like they do either.

They should have kept them really, would have been fine here at St Helens now still. Like what's been said, much better than all these old Darts.

2484 looks in quite a mess on the front corner from what i saw earlier on while in the depot taking a bus away

It looks like its been side swiped as the damage looks bad on the drivers side front but fixable and its scraped and battered all down the drivers side but all repairable.

2816 in Ogdens depot today, saw another which I presume was 2814 in there too. No sign of S45SNB though.

S45 SNB was there on saturday straight near the entrance when i drove past doing me staff bus as i even turned into the entrance gates just to make sure i wasnt seeing things.

Must have been a quick stop then unless it's hiding in there somewhere!
