Dont know if any other busses have it, but if there is I would imagine it to be the other Marshall Capitals with LEDs. So next time you see 32, make sure you look at the first nearside window.

Yeah, it's pretty much just a route diagram IIRC isn't it?
It's quite an odd choice of vehicle to brand

Most but not all of the Marshall Captial 2's with LED's have it, and have had it since the route was amended and extended

I don't see how it's an odd choice when the Marshall Capital 2's have spent most of their days on the short 14/62 since the introduction of the ELC mylleniums

Fair enough: we can agree to differ.
I just think that if the company really wanted to make a positive impression about a handy new set of routes, then they would choose vehicles which don't look knackered.

30/31/32 all all branded for the 62/62a. About the side destination's they get stuck on the inbound destination as the sides havent been programmed for the new simms cross destinations and jam on liverpool.

Wouldn't say they look knackered,, since they habe been repainted and had LEDs fitted. Dont get me wrong they have definitely seen better days,

Yes, think I would agree with that. 25 isn't bad as well.
