Whilst we are on the subject of Darts are any other Darts still in use in Merseyside or is 34820 the only one? |

Not sure if 34820 is still going over at Rock Ferry though, they may have a similar situation with fewer buses required in the summer. buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,

A few odd workings yesterday on 217/227, 24137, 24176 & 24180 all started on the route but all were swapped for the night time run with 27143, 27145, 36821 & 47675 (it is nearly my username!) being on the late runs! buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,

RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot
Does anyone happen to know if deckers are still sometimes used on the 204 still and if there are any particularly likely workings? Thanks in advance. |

RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot
Deckers only tend to get out on 204 as last minute swaps because Stagecoach keep a spare MMC in Liverpool ONE most of the day to assist with any buses that might need swapping for any reason or if a bus is late coming in they'll use the spare bus as a float to keep service operating. It would only be if a bus on 204 has a defect (or ran very late which is unlikely) that a decker would end up on it, though it does happen but you can't be sure when buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,

Thanks for the info - I guess later in the day is more likely, unless it's easy to make up time on the 204 route. |
