Well, its new back-end doesn't feature the "wings" of the Wright logo! Also, the fleet-number has been put somewhere new and the labelling on the back-end window doesn't look very tidily-done either! Also, if you haven't already noticed, it's been painted into the new livery...

I haven't seen it for a while now either! I wonder if 3018's entry back onto the road will see it off though - that's if it hasn't already been seen off...?

PeoplesBus already own land on Leckwith Road; their site has recently been refurbished, or it's still being refurbished at the moment. Maybe that's what the application is for...?

Arriva were looking at the land on Heysham Road a few years ago, before a wholesaler moved onto there before they reacted... That land would have been PERFECT for them now, with it being a few minutes away from the M58 for the ex-Skelmersdale services and literally just around the corner from Aintree, Maghull, Netherton and Old Roan - where the majority of the Liverpool-bound services start. Crosby is just down two main roads from that land too!

Just been on 7649 on the 61, it runs ok, but the noise and vibration on tickover is one of the worst cases I've seen recently

I had 7648 on the 68 yesterday which I thought was not too bad, certainly far from the worst marshall and no major vibrations.
