These new Enviro 300 integrals look even shorter than the 13/63 plate batch. Unless it was due to my positioning. At least it means hopefully getting rid of some more Darts anyhow

Hopefully as one of the darts was broken down outside holy name school faZakerley with 2 fitters on board. An hour later it had managed to limp to just past the hospital with hazards back on and engine lid open

Im probably in the minority but id much rather have a 55/06 plate dart over a 64 plate Enviro300!

Enviro300s are much nicer to drive than the darts, but I do have to say that the mirrors on them 64 plate Enviro300s do look rather small.

Liverpool echo is currently informing of an Enviro300 crashing in Walton Breck Road this morning, can't quite see what bus it is but looks quite new so could actually be one of the new ones, picture shows driver still in his cab but looks like he hasn't much choice really. Hopefully everybody involved is ok.

Well if it's one of the new ones then what a nasty start for a new bus.

Actually the article says that it recently entered service so it is one of the new ones. I'm guessing the bus has some sort of fault and is probably what caused the crash. Still at least no one is seriously injured.
