Cheers

I think 10801 (grey one) could be gone now? but I have not see for few while now, only I know 18002 (grey one) still active, also I've see mostly of time 10796 or 8 also 10800 that it. I believe last week swapped for new MMC 400 reg SM66*** to replacement Cambridge MMC.

One of the green MMC deckers was being towed back to Rock Ferry at 11:55pm this evening. As it was being towed into the depot all traffic was stopped and the bus jacked up to negotiate turning in (front wheels were straight so maybe no steering capability).

Trip to Chester yesterday, in the hope of a last trip on a Cambridge before they go, went there on grey 10802 and returned later on green 10800, 10796 was also seen out. With the Merseyrail engineering work in it's last week (for the major first stage at least), I would be surprised if the Cambridge MMC's are still here past this weekend!

Presumably 10796 as that's in The yard at Rock Ferry this morning.

Since when has the X8 become a stopping service? Tonight's 17:09 is already 10 late yet we've picked up & set down people outside Lever Bros & Cambridge Road, Bromborough.

Not sure if some of the peak hour journey's have extra stops. Info from a contact in Cambridge, confirmation that 10797 has arrived there, first of the green ones to arrive?

AFAIAA there's only one additional stop for the peak hour journeys, which is Bromborough Cross. There's also a temporary additional stop at Allport Road for the duration of the rail works.

Perhaps the others were just a result of a driver unsure of which were the correct stops, and thinking better safe than sorry!
