And the shunter would be correct.

I agree! 2315 used to be a lovely bus, but its age must have caught it - sad, really. I wonder if 2322 and 2323 will follow, along with "P&P'd" 2321 and 2324...?

Another shed for St Helens - no surprise there then.

Also was on 7640 earlier on the 34 - the idle vibration on this bus has got dramatically worse since I was last on it. I am due to get the same duty back to St Helens later, so fingers crossed it has been swapped by then.

Unfortunately 7640 wasn't swapped. Terrible vehicle - having put up with it for 1 hour and 40 minutes today, I do feel sorry for the drivers. I would say get it withdrawn but knowing Arriva we'd probably end up with a worse shed (if that's possible).

So with the arrival of 2315 looks like SH is to become the dumping ground for Darts again, but if the rumors are true that management want rid of all R,S and T reg by the end of the year guess it makes sense to have some at the same depot. I wonder if we are expecting the rest of the T***PNB's.

Seen 2315 in the depot today. On the pits for a lengthy amount of time before running around past the paintshop sounding absolutely awful with oil dribbling all down the bumper, the length of the bumper.
Also seen a Solo.SR getting dropped off by a Hough Green truck in the depot with 35 on the dests I think! No photo or identification of which one, sorry fellas!
Finally, there was a Saints Renown on the 10A today.
