Only S27SLT doesnt have led's as its second hand (Astons i think from Memory?) but all the former 635 Solars have LED's fitted.

Also M555SLT was on Layover for ages today at Wigan BS along with Ex Bluebus W187YBN parked behind it with part of its Bluebus roof visible also K60SLT was on the 607 and Former 630 buses W44/55SLT where on the 641/0 all day. There also some ex Irish dart in Strawberry livery on the 614

Pretty sure that there was a MAN meridan on the early 319 working this morning!! Everytime I've seen it is usually tempo T900 SLT

Dosen't the early journey work onto the EL1? In which case, this would explain the normal use of the Tempo.

Meridian M444 SLT (54) was unusually on the EL1 today!

I work in edgehill uni and saw this yesterday think its been on since sunday as all the students are back now and a tempo would certainly struggle to cope with the loadings even the meridian was almost filled to capacity on most journeys! who knows they may even end up putting a decker on it as we are expecting even more students to arrive back next week.

I very much doubt a double decker on EL1 as unless there's plans of getting another decker from somewhere SLT havent got any spare unless they use the East Lancs Volvo B7 double decker that's normally on 300s and their other decker is normally on the busy 126 service, personally I'd love to know why SLT have only got 2 deckers surely with the School Services SLT do a couple more would be ideal

SLT among other operators suffered problems with their Trafford Centre Services yesterday afternoon/evening, traffic was that bad round Trafford Centre and approaches that while I was there from about 17:00 I noticed 2 126s and 2 132s eventually turn up together and noticed the one bus on 300 waiting in the traffic to enter the Centre.

On leaving Trafford Center at about 18:15 the 300 I was on decided to use the alternate route to Worsley instead of using the Motorway as the road to M60 from Trafford Centre was gridlocked solid, so the drivers ran the service via Barton Swing Bridge and Worsley Road and picked up M60 at Worsley Junction

Didn't Cumfy use Solos on the EL1? So if Tempos and Meridians can't cope how did the Solos cope!

Meridian M555 SLT (55) was on the 319 yesterday whilst M444 SLT (54) was on the EL1, however Olympus D10 SLT (79) was on the EL1 this afternoon!
