RE: HTL Buses
HTL's fleet is largely small Optare Solos, with a few Dart MPDs, short Enviro200s and a selection of minibuses, this list is pretty much up to date - http://dartslf.com/fleetlists/htl-buses/ One a completely different note (not sure if we resolved this a few weeks back or not) the capacity of the Mercedes Sprinter/Koch is 13! buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,
Even if you cannot hear my voice. I'll be right beside you dear. |

RE: HTL Buses
Are they still running the Darts? Do they have any Marshall or Plaxton pointer darts? |

RE: HTL Buses
They own one Marshall Dart still however it is currently VOR. They have 6 Dart MPD/Pointer 2s (one TransBus, five ADL, though they are all the same really!) while the Dart SLF/Alexander ALX200 is currently under repair! I was at HTL's depot today getting some photos, which can be seen here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/buses7675/s...758903971/ buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,

RE: HTL Buses
If the ALX200 is to return to the road, I really do hope they give it some extensive work beforehand; it was atrocious to ride on! ![[Image: 1chYP.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/1chYP.jpg)

RE: HTL Buses
Its had a new engine I believe as well as quite a lot of other work being done on it so it should be a nice bus when its it all sorted! Not sure what routes it is intended to go on but we'll find out in due course! buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,

RE: HTL Buses
Having driven a number of ALX200's I can't think.of an example that didn't rattle and shake... |

Not sure what routes it is intended to go on but we'll find out in due course! i think that is more suited for the garston circulars as a lot of there routes are running through little estates. |

Not sure what routes it is intended to go on but we'll find out in due course! It used to be used on the 288 (which interworks with a St Julies School Service), the 258, the Garston Circulars and the 883, Wouldnt say it's the best bus for the 258, But its certainly better then the tiny Optare Solos they use which are too small at times |

RE: HTL Buses
There are quite a few Merseytravel service which require a vehicle bigger than the small Solos. I know the 137/138 seem to be bursting at the seams at times. |

RE: HTL Buses
What fares do HTL offer? Do they offer different pricing or is it simply a flat rate for adults and children? Do they do weekly/day tickets etc? |
