I think using the small Solos on the 210/250 Lpool to Maghull is a joke as these routed get busy!

Hi All,

BX12 DZG was a late swap onto the 166 (it was in the depot still at 5pm) and from experience the 166 does not get busy on Sunday evenings (any evenings tbh) so while small the bus would have had sufficient seats for the passenger levels expected.

One odd working noted before, Solo M890 YJ12 GXP is on the 166!

YJ61 MOU (77) was the bus used for the first HTL 206 Hightown-Crosby service which is my local bus service, some times have been changed and an extra service has been added by Merseytravel. This route was formely run by Peoplesbus from 14th sept 2009 and previously before that Eazibus. Peoplesbus have taken over route 123.

My mate saw one of the 06 reg darts on 210/250 as well the darts and enviros would be far more suitable for this route.

Another Solo SR demonstrator is with HTL Buses now, YJ11 OJK, a Solo M880SR which is B31F.

Previously used by Manchester Community Transport.

RE: HTL Buses
HTL's 13reg SR was on the 192 unusually last night

RE: HTL Buses
It has been on that all week as the diagrams for the 192 have changed as the 101 contract had ended.

Previously all the buses on the 192 were the buses used on the 101 daytime but now at least 2 of the evening 192 buses work off the 173/4s as YJ13 HJV and YJ11 EKK have been on the 192 a few times this week.

Not sure about the other 192 buses though I've a feeling one could be the bus from the 266 and the fourth might also be a 173/4 bus - The other two of the five 173/4 daytime buses stay on the 174 all night.

RE: HTL Buses
St Helens is the hospot today fir Sprinters with examples on 17B (as normal); 111 & 156/602, this is shocking - why is this area being treated with such low quality vehicles.
