The 34 can see anything from Pulsars to Volvos, Cadets and Darts of either Pointer or Marshall kind. Solo's (both SR and original) have appeared very occaisionally (ironically they have appeared on the very busy Market Day Fridays which I can only imagine didn't go down well with either drivers or passengers).

Thanks St Helens Rider. This clarifies that route 34 sees a big variety of bus types. My priority will be a Solo SR on a local service if necessary. IIRC the refurb Dart 3234 was on route 38 on 28.1.12 but can clearly appear on other routes. I shall mostly ride whatever bus is convenient next Saturday but I prefer Marshalls and Pointers in MTL or 2009 moquette to most other buses at St Helens.
