2416 looks now to be here. Currently parked at the front of lane 3(I think) fresh out of the paint shop displaying 10 Liverpool via Prescot on the destination.

Out on 320s by late afternoon.

It was still parked up in the depot at 2pm so must have been an exchange at some point. Glad we are getting something other than darts as replacements for a change.

Me personally quite like the "X" reg cadets as welcome them for a change,better than getting more dreadded marshalls from green lane.

To be fair, the cascading of darts from anw can't go on much longer as there arent exactly huges amounts of them left is there. Marshalls are falling away, so a few V reg darts and then the X-ANC/HJA and thats it.

Had a ride on 2416 today, quite a nice ride not many rattles the only one I could detect was from the bar on the rear emergency exit but it is only a slight rattle not as bad as the marshalls.

I must admit I am quite impressed with both 2416/21, it will interesting to see if the others that are due are as good.

2416 was on the 329 all day yesterday. Was this the example that was once based at Runcorn for a period last year?
