It will be back soon.

Two Solo SR, 710 and 721, on the 34 to Leigh today (25 July). One was presumably a replacement for 2694, seen getting fitters' attention at Earlestown Bus Station.

There's been a Solo SR on the 34 the last few days, also normally one on the 320 shorts these days. Yesterday another was on the 33. Can Definitely see a shortage of Pulsars.

What is the latest on the hydrogen buses for the 10A, i thought they'd all be in service by now?

Simple answer is nothing. There are 9 parked up at Jackson St....depot mods have not been completed and with no way to re-fuel them can't see them seeing service any time soon

Does anybody know which routes fall under which driver's links at the St Helens depot. Thanks

Merseytravel should have just ordered what TfGM did rather than a new unproven type that seems to be full of issues.

That's farcical, so Merseytravel have brought new buses for the 10A, which delivered to Arriva [& Stagecoach], but their's no infrastructure in place yet to service & refuel them.
