There are still some X-ANC's around with rollers, not just this one a couple of Green Lane's still have them as does at least one of Bootle's, can't remember which ones right now though.

At Green Lane it's: 2201 / 2203 / 2204 / 2207 / 2208.

7647 was on 10A this morning, this bus has improved as it flew all the way to liverpool

me and my driver friend decided to keep 2269 on 356 all night, really was a nice bus and even got some nice words of a local fella who is happy there is no bar betwen the pram bay and the priority seats so it gave him extra legroom

Isn't it down to the inspectors what bus will be on any given route? I'm assuming what buses will be allocated to what service would have been done the day before and I would have thought a driver would have no say on the bus he wants?

what is it mate is 9 out of 10 times the 356 gets a daf cadet or a wright cadet but sometimes like last night we got 2269, an ALX200 body dart, if you dont want the bus and your on a late you can just take the bus down to the depot and theres normally about 4 pulsar/pulsar 2's sat at the front you can just jump in and take

my mate is a fan of the darts so as long as its a good dart you will notice it will not get swapped :P

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot

I've driven 2419 at Runcorn. It was nicknamed the beast over there. Didn't half fly that thing...
