Forgot to mention that the latest Streetlite demo is 10.8m long and registered ERZ 2028. It has come directly from Go North East apparently.

The 385 that gets to the Concourse from Wigan at approx 13:45 was delayed today because of inconsiderate matalan employees blocking the road and double parked. it was also worked by a Links Pulsar

A little update.

2144 has returned to service after accident repairs as has 7673 with its' replacement engine.
2291 and 2293 soldier on at the moment.
7909 the Wright Streetlite demonstrator is confined to daytime 49 boards if anyone wishes to sample it- it should be here for a couple of weeks at least.

Thanks for that - 7643 should be the last Marshall to be transferred to Southport from Bootle!

I managed to get a photo of the StreetLite on Friday in the depot (credit to the staff there):

It looks really nice; I'll have to try and ride on it whilst it's here.
