There has also been another arrival, this time former Lancashire County Council Fiat Ducato / Mellor PO60KUE. Not entirely sure what it's purpose is as it is being used on shuttles at the moment and is actually step entrance so unsuitable for Merseylink work.

Another new arrival today is of Optare Solo M780SL YJ56AUM.


RE: HTL Buses - M60lad - 02/09/2021 05:36

YJ56AUM was previously with Holmeswood unless its been anywhere since.

Another arrival to record, former Panther Travel Alexander Dennis Enviro 200 YX09FLE, this is primarily for school work. VDL SB180 AY60BVD is currently away for RTC repairs as is Optare Solo SR YJ16DYP.

Hi, can anyone please confirm whether VWs SN04 LFT, WU04 JYT and SN55 HCF are still here and what their usage status is? They've been the subject of an edit war on quack77 for a few weeks now, and I can't spot an obvious vandal by the IP addresses, both of which seem to have previously made good edits elsewhere.

Thanks in advance!

SN04 LFT is still about as it went past the bus I was on yesterday morning, usually if I'm lucky I can sometimes find one of the three parked up opposite the closed Margaret Beavan school in West Derby Village. Having a hard time remembering the last time I saw SN55 HCF and I managed to get a photo of WU04 JYT in late-June.


RE: HTL Buses - CX06 EBK - 08/09/2021 23:51

WU04JYT and SN04LFT are still in daily use, SN55HCF is currently off the road (been parked in the same spot for a few weeks) but its not withdrawn in any capacity just with the arrival of Fiat Ducato YX13BWO I would suggest efforts to get it back working are lower than they would have been.

Previously mentioned Enviro 200 YX09FLE entered service today initially on afternoon schools and then on the evening 159/135/144.


RE: HTL Buses - CX06 EBK - 14/09/2021 01:42

Optare Solo SR YJ16DYP has returned from damage repairs and was out for a short while this evening on the 248.


RE: HTL Buses - T42 PVM - 14/09/2021 08:08

Do we know when the 56 Plate Solo will enter service?


RE: HTL Buses - CX06 EBK - 14/09/2021 11:33

Not yet, still parked up on the beach.
