Extremely doubtful seeing as vtx doesn't have a ticket machine fitted. It's actually being used for route training.

Thanks for that. Don't know why it was letting people off in the centre of Partington though?

Sounds about right. 21237-47 are regulars for the 540.

Speaking of the Eclipses 21239 has been VOR for at least three weeks. It's had a new fuel injector fitted but still has problems as it keeps cutting out.

Though I hadn't seen it in a while

From what I'm hearing, I get the feeling it might not be too long now before it starts earning its keep on our roads
