I can't remember the code for 152 but I think it is the code after 187 as they are both new routes (both codes are in the 90s) so I assume the driver just mis-set the display and hadn't noticed somehow!

That Solo spents most of its time on the 152.
There is a paticular Solo with a "TYRECARE ST HELENS" rear advert which is usually on tender 135 as well, YJ11 EKO springs to mind.

Yeah my point was about it displaying 187! Also one of the green Enviro200s was on the 135 yesterday, seemed odd.

The optare solo on the 188 today is sporting no rear registration plate...

The new Mercedes Minibuses for routes 883/898/899 are apparently due within the next 10 days or so now, while two VW Minibuses are due in early 2013 for Merseylink use.

Dart SLF/ALX200 Y196 KNB is now mobile again, not out in service yet but noted moving under its own power in teh depot this morning so it'll probably go out in service again some time soon!

i been on the 137/138 a bit recently and the allocation seems to be 2 darts and 1 solo all bar one occasion i been lucky to avoid the solo but the 1 time i had it from st helens to eccelston ad there was people stood up due to few seats on the darn thing, the darts seem to only just cope at times themselves as the last 137 from town has an almost full seating load every day, bar the urban 90 seats some of the darts are decent (58 to name one)


RE: HTL Buses - St Helens Rider - 19/12/2012 19:23

The 135/137/138 circuit has a PVR of 4, so I think it's probably more like 2 darts and 2 solos.


RE: HTL Buses - T42 PVM - 19/12/2012 19:25

i forgot about the 135, it will be 3 darts and 1 solo then as i only normally see 1


RE: HTL Buses - buses7675 - 20/12/2012 19:27

Long Dart SLF/ALX200 Y196 KNB was noted leaving the depot this evening, screens set to 883 Liverpool Airport so presumably in service!


RE: HTL Buses - Scania1996 - 20/12/2012 20:10

Indeed. Forum Member Ultralow saw it today on the 883.
