All services start and end from their terminus points with the exception of the 81E.'

I mean how many services is the depot responsible for? I think Runcorn has about 9 or so..

75
77
78
79/79D
80/80A
81/81A
82
192 (AM)
500
501
University service 699 and Rail Replacement

You've forgotten about the 76 and, as CX06 EBK has posted above me, the 86/86A!

Saw one of the Gemini 2's on the 75 today! (MX61 AYU) And there was a few ALX400s out on the 75 and 78! Never usually see anything other than Commanders or the occassional Myllenium on those routes!

Think with the university season ending a little , it has freed up more deckers in which we could see unusual allocations though I'm not one to turn down a bit if variety !

Now that some deckers have been freed up we could do with one on the first early morning 78 as even commanders ar getting packed to the rafters on this journey now as more people have started using it especially down wavertree road.

The H-GEVs were brilliant buses. Wasn't the last one at Speke 19 years of age when it moved on? It was in great condition anyway!

Now then, noticed a Gemini on the 81/81A this afternoon but couldn't ID it. Plus 2551 now has a 'Wright Commander' engine cover. How long has she had this?

Over a year or more, its from 2603, If you look closely you'll find where "2603" has been peeled off infact!

If it off 2603, what has happened to 2603 ?

nothing serious as it lives to tell the tale!

It would have been at Speke for repairs of somesort, from mirror to maintainance and rather then have two buses off the road, used the bonnet from 2603.
