Spotted a Pulsar coming into Queen Square this afternoon displaying:

7AQueen Square.

Barmy! :p

Would have been one of 3058-61, which have had destinations programmed terribly since coming back from Malta. Another comedy dest on there is "18Croxteth park" (no, there really isn't a capital P in park on them!)

Ah right. I just thought to myself "7AQ? That's a new one" lol.

Have they sorted out the 'LIverpool' displays yet? Big Grin

I seen one of them the other day turning across me and from my original angle it looked like 18C

Just had 2236 home on the 8, that is a shed in all departments. Slow, loud and very rattly. Bootle can have it back! Did anyone see what was on the 68 in its place?


RE: Arriva North West - Green Lane Depot - MPTE1955 - 02/07/2012 14:54

7623 was on the 68, I think (cant quite remember) so that would be one in its place. Had 7625 on the 9, this is a decent one with not many rattles.

7618, 7624 and 7671 are all on the 68 today. I noted both 7671 and 7624 Aigburth bound. 7671 was displaying Aigburth Vale on its blinds wereas 7624 was only showing yellow blank. I noted 7618 Bootle bound and that was showing Bootle on its blinds. The only other vehicle I noted on the 68 today was 2219. There was also a refurbished ex Bootle dart on the 12 today but I can't remember the fleetnumber! lol.

So that's incredibly four native Green Lane Darts on the 68 in one day! Chris, 7624 has the same type of blind as 7664 (ex Huyton X-ANC blinds) which don't have either Bootle or Aigburth on there. Could have only been 2229 or 2231, they're the two refurbished ones Bootle gave Green Lane :-)

MPTE, funnily enough I had 7625 on my 9 this morning. It's a good, fast solid bus! Definitely one of the better Marshalls.

Yeah 7624 looked like it had new blinds whereas 7671 looked to still have its original blinds.
