Really? What happened??
I saw 2202 (X202 ANC) DartSLF/Pointer2 BROKEN DOWN at Bootle Bus Station this afternoon!

An RNW Iveco recovery truck with a Jerr-Dan bodywork (S855 WYC) was hooking it up for removal.
I presume it was running the '68-AIGBURTH VALE' route before it became 'crispy' again?
Wink

Well whoever informed you that it was crispy/dry smoked may have a point....
There were broken glass fragments around the floor of the driver's cab, yet all windows were intact.

Only guessing, but I presume the fire extingusher near the driver's cab had to be used, breaking the safety glass cover in the process?

2202 involved in a fire then??

I was informed there was a fire, however, not the scale! Smile

3147,3149,3150 have been on the 26/27 this weekend

Also I was wondering if anyone knew that 3030 is in old livery but has a full set of the new seat covers!?

It appears the 13 plate Pulsars live on the 26/27 despite apparently being for the 12/13. Completely normal as with all the 59 plate batch... 3029/31/32 are the same as are 3023-8 which were delivered in the old livery but given a partial repaint when nearly new.

3014 onwards have the "new" moquette

Marshall 7671 already looking worse for wear now has a battery flap from one of the withdrawn one's. Noticeable by the flap being in the now standard colour.
