Don't think there could have been much wrong with it, sure I saw an old livery Marshall at the crossing near the library just after 5:30pm.

2419 failed prior to operating the last 356 last night. 720 was brought out to complete it instead. Despite its breakdown though, 2419 is out on the same duty today and set to stay out late on 356s.

Considering 356 has a regular driver (good friend of mine) most of the week apart from Wednesday's I'm surprised he didn't swap 2419 over earlier as he did mention to me when I saw him Thursday night that he was thinking of swapping the bus over anyway and maybe bringing out a Solo, I'm guessing he wishes he did now, lol

Yeah it was SHR,it was 2346 but it failed at 10:05 as it got towed in by our tow truck and the sr went out in its place.

2346 was off on its merry way to Widnes about half 3 so can't have been too serious!

Thanks for the confirmation MM. The Darts really do seem to have been struggling over the last few weeks.

CX54 - interesting to know whatever problem 2346 had has been fixed and it's back out in service.
