Looks like 4185 is heading to Jackson Street. Whilst I was on 34, it pulled up in the next lane to us at Lane Head and driver was asking for directions to St Helens. I don't know if it's for service or to have work done.

Strange that as when I seen 4185 it appeared to have come from the Bolton direction when it was turning at the Lane Head onto the East Lancs.

They where sent to bolton but the single door conversion was done by a private contractor and there was still some little things needed doing like certifacation so they have been brought to st helens for the little jobs to get done as 4183 hasnt got destinations fitted and both require stickering up with legals inside and out.

The door conversion is definitely noticeable on 4185. Put it this way, you can definitely tell there's been a door there. Would go as far as to say it almost looks as bad as some of the Pathfinder conversions a few years ago.

4184 was at Bolton Depot on 11th June along with 4183 and 4185. I think I saw all of 4170 to 4185 there during June with the exception of 4171 which I understand is at St Helens. Is 4171 withdrawn or awaiting repair?

I had 4185 as in service at Bolton, also had 4184 as URU and 4183 being URS. Can registrations be confirmed and which ones are actually in service out of the 3 or if none of them are.
