7568 is due for imminent withdrawal- possibly this weekend. It has been said that the withdrawn 2110 will be MOT'd and reinstated as its replacement although will only last until the end of the year.
As for the planned Dart replacement it is confirmed vehicles from Bangor will arrive but a solitary Dart is to be retained.

whats the point is withdrawing a younger dart in name of a pointer 1 that almost all of the others have been withdrawn

Can i ask bolton bus basher what piinter one has been mentioned
RE: Arriva North West - Southport Depot - B10B6514 - 28/07/2012 08:44
They are both Pointer 2s. 7658 is R568ABA and 2110 is S610KHN so virtually the same age.
As withdrawals continue the plate prefix will become less relevant as they have now caught up with when the DVLA switched to 6 monthly registrations. 'S' was the switch over point as it ran from 1/8/98 until 28/2/99, then 'T' was the first 6 monthly plate issued from 1/3/99 to 31/8/99 therefore as the first 'S' plate have now gone (ex-MTL mini Pointers) it would be expected that withdrawal of the Marshalls say would begin in earnest next year as they are only a year younger than the R-ABAs.
In the Southport fleet the ex-gas buses 2291-2294 were delivered in February 1999 (although didn't enter service until March so therefore should be T reg) on S plates however the first Marshalls (7624-7632) entered service on 1/9 the same year.
Back to your point 2110 probably has a higher book value so that is why its reinstatement is suggested therefore righting its remaining value off over a few months extra in service.

To continue slightly Bus Lists On The Web lists7568 as new 3/98 and 2110 new 10/98 so only 7 months difference

Regarding the park n ride southport should put the price Of car parks up so people are forced to use it this happened in York because its £13 to park in a car park for a day there

If you look at the locations of the three park and ride sites , then they are at the three major enbtrances to Southport though at most times now they only use the one (Promenade) not the best situated for people coming in from the east .
