RE: Halton Transport
Scania OmniCity 82 is now registered MIG 8165. (Seems a bit bizarre to disguise the age of vehicles that are significantly newer than the fleet average!) Yesterday was a bumper day for Marshall Darts in Liverpool. There were at least five - 29, 31, 32, 33 and another that I think may have been 28, with at least one of them (32 I think) being on the 61. |

As to hiding age; if they have the same body in 2014 as they did in 2009; and they look that good, why not? |

Well that's true, but so is the converse: aside from the headlights, it's near enough the same body as it was in 2002  Another one re-registered is 91 which is now MIG 8175. |

RE: Halton Transport
Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen anyone on the relatively new 'Buzzabout' service either (though I have not been around too frequently, so I may just have been unlucky). It may be okay for people who live in West Bank, but other than that it's just a bit confusing! |

RE: Halton Transport
Another Scania in service is 90, which has been reregistered to MIG 8174. I also saw MIG 8166 the other day, didn't catch the fleet number but am presuming that it's 83. |
