Didn't they have almost have problems a few months ago where they didn't run their services for a day or two.

If anyone on here knows what 17036 is doing in the next couple of days, would appreciate a posting on here, am keen to try and track it down for a pic or two, especially if it's still carrying Devon fleet names.
Cheers!

It's done the 611 school service in East Prescot Road in Dovecot at 7:45 the past two mornings, whether it'll be on there tomorrow I don't know but I'd say so personally!

True, it would of made life easier. But, I am sure that the management and staff at Stagecoach - Gillmoss depot, were grateful off the extra work! Be interesting to see who takes their school services on as from September.

The operations manager has been driving the 692 on at least two occasions this week.

I have noticed that all the drivers on the former Napier Point routes have been wearing white shirts (rather then blue which all other drivers wear), perhaps as they're all managers etc and normal drivers don't know the routes yet?
