It changed when I worked for the PTE somewhere around 2000-2003. It's ok as long as you have all zones and don't get on or off in Lancs. It used to be a great hit as an inspector, waiting by the boundary in Lydiate....

Shows how long it is when I went to Southport that way by bus, in fact it has been about 10-11 years, I even remember the buses I got there and back, 7631 there and B10B 6527 back.

As far as the DLAs are concerned, 4064 is off to Bolton and 4094 is to be converted to open top along with 4 others. Southport are receiving 2 from Bootle and 3 from Birkenhead. Those mooted are 4050, 4095-4098. This is subject to confirmation though. 3 Olympians are sold for further use and the other 2 for scrap again to be confirmed numbers wise.

Thanks for clarifying that. I wonder which ones are being scrapped? From a driver's point of view they all seem fairly spot on. Do you know where the DLAs that are being converted are destined for? North Wales?
