Maybe they wanted to buy a second hand scania.

If they did, I think they'd go elsewhere rather that Last bus!

Seriously though, I'm not sure why Stagecoach would be there other than the obvious, not sure we should really speculate though but time will tell.

My bold corrections to fleetnumbers; 34616 (PX04 HTT) is still at Lillyhall.

Dart 34784 was broken down on East Prescot Road at the stop after Sainsbury tonight, bonnet was up and of course this can only have been on 10a or 10c. 14 Branded 24130 was working 10c, this sort of thing is of course to be expected at the present time.

34784 cant have had much wrong as it is back out today working 53, had 24121 on the 10a today, first thing I noticed was the different seating with these being dual purpose with the headrest although I am not sure there is any point. Also on this the stopping sign is where the fleet number is on the Merseyside one's and there is no CCTV screen. I thought that there was something else different but I couldnt put my finger on what it was.

Not what I had in mind, the fleet number is a lot smaller on the outside, didnt actually see it inside but I wasnt on it that long.

More comfortable and supportive on the longer routes these vehicles are used on. Remember you only have them on loan.
