I've been looking out for it for some time now and I haven't seen it anywhere!
DVLA say its still taxed, anyone know where it might be??
Cadet 2519 seemed to have failed, IRONICALLY, outside the old Skelmersdale Arriva depot this afternoon (on the 311 route)! It got going again under its own power as I seen the engineering van following it towards the motorway.

2926 is now on the 61.

Could be anything really but generally 58,61,311,345. Can be on anything though, rarely the 53 though.

iv been told that 7674 is at green lane for MOT with a old livery back end on it so it looks like the fire wasn't that bad for them to repair it. Pointless if u ask me as it only has a few months left.

I'd also include the 54 and the 350 to that list.

As I've said previously in this thread, it seems that Bootle don't have plans to withdraw their Marshalls yet as 7662 has also recently had an MOT (noticeable because it has shiny, silver wheels).

Yes it looks that way with the Marshalls, I was on 7667 last week and that one has been tightened up since I last rode it just two weeks before, the gearbox was nowhere near as jerky either. So certainly has had some work done. 7674 making a comeback would still be a big surprise at this stage, but then we saw 6574 come back a few years ago at a similar age.

For all I know Bootle could of been making a decision weather to withdraw it or not so that could of been a reason or they may of been thinking of a replacement e.g. PNB dart from Speke like 2321 or 2324 as I think they were unallocated around that time.
RE: Arriva North West - Bootle Depot - MPTE1955 - 10/06/2013 16:54
To be fair, after Bootle getting rid of the T-PNB darts I wouldnt have thought that they would have wanted one back.
