Anyway 2322 is a slow sluggish thing which is unusual for a dart really, don't know if this was down to the driver or not, if it was down to the bus this will be the slowest dart that I have ridden in quite some time.
That's one of the worst that I've ever rode on, too! I feel sorry for the passengers that get it when it's commonly on the 311...

2322 was the opposite to 2232 that I had on the 61 the other day, 2232 was quick and that one must have had something done as it didnt rattle anywhere near as much as the last time I rode it, as for 2322 I will be avoiding that one if I can.

Oh yeah! 2232 is a fantastic bus - I'm glad that it didn't transfer to Green Lane with the 68 as it would be a massive loss for us!

Bootle werent daft when the 68 went as they seemed to get rid of the biggest X-ANC sheds with maybe the exception of 2231 that is pretty good these days, the biggest bonus was getting rid of the biggest shed that is 2216 although I am still at risk of catching that not only on a 68 but also on a 7,8 or 9.

Yeah 2231 is really good, the reason it got sent away as it's got a chronic reliability record which is a shame as it is a nice bus. Had 2216 home on my 8 today, just a shed in all departments. 2229/36 are sheds as well, Bootle have done great in dumping their sheds on Green Lane I agree...

Justice is finally here. Rest In Peace the 96, You'll Never Walk Alone.

2216, 2229 (definitely!) and 2236 are definitely good outward transfer choices for passengers of Bootle's services. 2219 and 2237 were alright - well, I liked them! It was disappointing to see them go. 2215 and 2217 were alright - just as bit rattly. I haven't had 2231 since it was first LED' (yes - years ago!) - it was off the road a lot before it was "P&P'd", so I'll blame it on that!

2231 you and most of us know has had lots of engines, but agreed is a nice bus to ride. 2216 was my shed of the year for 2011, will take a lot to beat that one.
