Could be anything really but generally 58,61,311,345. Can be on anything though, rarely the 53 though.

The 311 is mainly Pulsars and Cadets these days. It's rare to see a Dart on them at the moment!

I'd also include the 54 and the 350 to that list.

If its fire wasn't that bad, why has it taken about a year for it to be repaired?

As I've said previously in this thread, it seems that Bootle don't have plans to withdraw their Marshalls yet as 7662 has also recently had an MOT (noticeable because it has shiny, silver wheels).

Yes it looks that way with the Marshalls, I was on 7667 last week and that one has been tightened up since I last rode it just two weeks before, the gearbox was nowhere near as jerky either. So certainly has had some work done. 7674 making a comeback would still be a big surprise at this stage, but then we saw 6574 come back a few years ago at a similar age.
