Hi All,

A full list of HTL routes (complete to my knowledge anyway) is online at http://dartslf.com/htl-buses-routes/

This doesn't include any future routes that are known about such as route 211 (Speke Circular) that they begin operating in August.

The pay levels at HTL (and other independents possibly, I don't know what they pay) are likely to be lower than the likes of Arriva/Stagecoach/FirstGroup but that if often the case in any industry that the smaller independents which smaller profit margins have slightly lower pay levels.

From my conversations with HTL they do have very friendly management who for the purposes of the site have been very good providing information about their fleet and having met them they do seem like really nice people. Many people prefer this sort of working environment than maybe one with higher pay but where you are just 'a number'.

Some people may like that, but ultimately these days it is pay that matters.

MPD SN06 BMU (56) was out on the 101 today!

Hi All,

The latest news from HTL is a change in plan regarding which rental vehicles are returning to Dawsonrentals.

Enviro200s KX57 FMC & KX57 FMF were apparently received in order to cover for accident damage to MPD SN06 BMV and Solo YJ12 GXR.

Solo SN06 BMV is not yet due back (but when it is KX57 FMC will then return), while Enviro200s KX57 FMF and KX59 CYW are now due to go back to Dawsonrentals imminently. I'm not sure yet if Solo YJ12 GXR has returned, I intend to confirm this later!


RE: HTL Buses - MPTE1955 - 18/06/2012 14:59

SN06 BMV is an MPD Steve.
