Thank you.

SN14 TXM was by the front fence this morning in the new lighter green livery with its new Huyton Travel logos.

HTL now have a seperate section on Bustimes under the 'Metro Network' section. Currently it only shows the 811 service, although the rest of the services it will be operating under franchising (and the abundance of school contracts) will obviously be added in the future.

Couple of weeks ago I did 37A from Ormskirk-St Helens and while waiting for the bus I got chatting with some of the passengers and from what I could gather one of the things their happy with the 37 & 37A services is the vehicles used as to them they have more comfy seats unlike the ones on Solos HTL's used to use, this I agree with as some of the Solos used when HTL operated the route had really hard seats with practically little moquette which wasn't good if you were doing the full route to Southport.

Unfortunately wasn't quick enough to get the camera out but spotted one of Huyton Travel's recently acquired E400H's from Stagecoach London on London Road in the city centre this afternoon, in allover green with Huyton Travel fleetnames in the Tower Transit corporate style. I *think* it was SN14TXL, which would be the former Stagecoach 12292.

Interesting that these vehicles will be allowed to have HTL livery, rather than Metro livery.
