There's still 9 Paladins in service at Jackson St. Logic says most of the LS refugees will end up there.

7 Paladins given recent withdrawals. Bearing in mind we've got 16 new buses due within the month, I wouldn't be putting any money on the arrival of the R-ABA Darts when our own are likely to be replaced by said new buses. The two Marshalls are another story, being on a V plate, it wouldn't surprise me at all if they turn up at Jackson Street.

I was thinking as a stop gap as the Paladins are getting taken out so rapidly over the last week or so. But I agree at the very least I would expect to see the Marshalls turn up in St Helens.

7557 had some electrical work done on it yesterday, new batterys and some wiring replaced due to a common electrical burn out according to one of the fitters. He said it needed a good run today to charge the batteries properly, however this didnt happen, it was seen again outside the pits this afternoon and over the pits this evening with batt cover open, so clearly not been fixed properly... either way, suggests it could be here for a while yet as I doubt they'd bother repairing it if its going next week!

Why have nearly all the cadets with manual blinds got 007 on back
They should be blank really or used correctly.
Seen 7557 on 410 the other day with 418 on back and I was on 2436 tonight on 118 (just got off New Brighton 2320) I told the driver when I got on it had 447 on side driver could not open side as it was locked noticed when I got off the back had 412

Looks like one or a couple of drivers are trying to confuse people
