1 Wright Crusader Dart
2 Plaxton SLF Darts
1 Marshall Dart

Considering that until recently Oldham had at least 4 or 5 Plaxton SLFs I wonder whether any have been withdrawn recently.

Also I was in Ashton yesterday and I noticed that all of their Marshall Darts have now got working LEDs in the now and were being used on a variety of routes

Speaking of Ashton Depot have any of their Solos (The 53 ones) had a repaint recently only quite a few of them were looking rather tidy yesterday and if they have been repainted I wonder why they weren't repainted into the new livery

there is only 1 wrights dart left in service 40416 solos are 54 reg think some have been touched up
