Rumour has it that the 61 might come as well (without the 62), but lets wait and see! Be interesting to see if former GL bus 7569 makes a return!

I've heard the same story again today, however apparently it's the Marshalls that're going with it to Green Lane as they're the common allocations for it.

The 56/56A was in the hands of Plaxton Pointer 2 T821 PNB (2321) and Marshall V626 DVU (7626) today - quite unusual to see 7626 on the services to be honest! The usual DAF/ALX400, S266 JUA (4026), was on there as-well, despite it not being a school-day! I do think that these services need double-deckers on there though. I had 7626 (excellent runner by the way - only the annoying rattles from the back window let it down!) on there this morning and it got a loading far from comfortable...

Plaxton Pointer 2 X221 ANC (2221) was out on the 62(/62A?) this evening - I'm pretty sure that it was on something different this morning though!
