Arriva North West - Southport Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Southport Depot
One of our 'new' Darts (2237 I think, but as I was driving 3079 at the time I couldn't ID it properly) was playing out on the 47/8 today. I'm not sure if it was allocated to a full board or was just deputising for a failed Pulsar.

2237 was out on 68 just two days ago, if it was that it must have only just moved.

My friend saw 2239 on the 47/48 yesterday, so it was probably that instead of 2237. Hard luck to anyone who hopped on that for a long journey with those seats.

Renown 2725 has been involved in a serious collision with a van on Lord Street in Southport. Fire on scene with ambulance. Apparently one man has died. RIP

This incident is now reported in the Echo and yes it would appear that you are correct about the van driver having a heart attack.

Any chance of a picture?

If you want a pic by all means visit otsnews.co.uk or http://qlocal.co.uk/southport but please share a thought for my Uncle Pat's family and my mate who was driving 2725.

Sometimes the anorak doesn't fit.

I'll miss you Pat

I agree. There's quite a lot of Southport-based members on this forum, so it certainly seems sensible to, at least, sympathise before asking for a photo of the accident...

My thoughts are with all who've been affected by the accident.
