I was on a Volvo B10BLE (2729) on the 32A before I hope that particular one doesn't get scrapped when it gets withdrawn as its a beast with the ZF gearbox and probably my favorite one in the fleet

There will probably be a plausible reason for the double deckers being on that route .

Seemed a bit of a strange failure, it had cones round it and a pressurised container next to it on one of them jack things. It looked like something to do with the breaking system, but not to sure. Looked like it was waiting to be towed as the mechanic seemed to have gave up.

725 was back out on the road but out of service on Clipsley Lane toward Church Road about 1445.
2707 was on the 20 and it struggled climbing West End Road. Probably had been swapped with 725 at Earlestown.

No just got given it and its stayed out on lates.
Its pretty sluggish and struggles up hills but apart from that it was ok.

I don't know if this has been mentioned already but Arriva are looking at running a Soccorbus from St Helens and Prescot. I assume they will use buses from St Helens depot. I don't know the poll results but I think there may be a lot of people saying they would use it. The poll closes on 10th April. It can be found on Arriva North West Facebook. Good to see they are making more use of buses and increasing their presence.
