Iv noticed that nearly all the darts have had new whels added, and iv noticed that darts 71-79 have looked a lot more fresh lately but I presumed they had just had a bloody good wash instead of a repaint but now you mention it, I think they have seen a repaint, just wish halton would hurry up and give them all LEDs as I think 33 and 28 are still the only ones to have been converted. As well I wish that halton would paint that blackboard thing were the rear destination blind is on Darts 71-78 as its really bringing there look down, they look really worn and 74s is nearly white!

#75 has looked pretty tidy for a while! But halton have gave a few buses a fresh lick of paint, It's noticeable on the Marshall's and some of the mylleniums (The recent repainted ELC's have extended red at the the rear to the window, rather then the window outline or the Myllenium Spryte bodywork)

#30 and #33 are the LED Marshall Capital 2's

I disagree slightly with your blind comment, #78 has a really good set of destination blinds, very clear, good as new, I saw it today on the 43 and instantly thought it as soon as I saw it, IICR #75 also had quite a good set (and they all function)!

I personally prefer the roller blinds to the LED's as i love seeing all the expired and dis-used destinations when theyre switching the route. I just wish they would go back to the old handle drivers had to turn to in order change the display rather then the computer system they use now!
