The Crusaders weren't bought specifically for the 102 as they bought 12 and the pvr was for 6 buses. As my name suggests the 102 is my favourite route right from Day 1 when it started. I drove the route with CMT Buses and HTL in recent times.

Evening and Sunday service usually operated by Volvos as per drivers requests. And we had 4 buses on it on evenings and Sundays. Now just 1 bus on a shortened route!!!

Remember the evening and Sunday 102 used to have alternate extensions to Huyton Elizabeth Road in Merseyrider days. When Halton had the route they terminated it at Walton Flyover. A couple of years ago I wrote an article for merseyside Bus cub newsletter on my experiences of the route. I have electronic copies available if anyone interested
