Both seen in service today.

Also, MX12 KWN (3120) was on the 53A today - with 3118. I had a ride on 3118 and it was OK, but I only had it for a few minutes and the driver was slow. I also had MX12 KWW (3108) again today and this is the worst one that I've rode on so far (out of the "newbies"). It rattled a lot, despite it sounding very nice. The driver agreed about the rattling - "give it six months and they'll be falling to bits" (like the rest of them)!

I had Plaxton Pointer 2 T324 PNB (2324) on my 311 today - there and back. This bus rattles a lot and it doesn't sound "powerful", but it was alright! Nice to see one still going - I haven't seen the rest of them for a few days...

Regarding the 68, I've seen a few faces that transferred with the 68 a few months ago back in Bootle and a few new faces are now on the 68... Strange!

MPTE1955 beat me to 3120 - I took too long to reply!
