2144 was on the PR2 today. This would normally be quite unusual, but I suppose given the summer timetable, the red and cream Enviros find their way onto all three PR routes. The PR1 had sister 2143 and an unidentified Renown.

With Chapel Street being Pedestrianised and with the bunting, I assume it was some form of promotional work. Although I think Solo's would work well on some routes in Southport.

It was the promotion of the start of the £10 weekly ticket for the 42,44,43,46 and the 49 the £10 ticket will be only allowed on these routes in the town , which starts tomorrow or a week tomorrow not sure, until november .

That's good value & I think it will do very well in Southport.
