Interurban 2705 (X705 DBT) B10BLE/Renown is out today displaying 'RAIL REPLACEMENT MOORFIELDS STATION', whilst 2244 (X244 HJA) DartSLF/Pointer2 is displaying the unusual-sounding 'RAIL REPLACEMENT EXPRESS'

The other day one displayed 'Rail Replacement Liverpool Central' while another had 'Rail Replacement Bootle Oriel' even though it was on the Moorfields-Lime St shuttle.

Its obscene to see so many deckers taken out of service to basically just burn fuel for the the benefit of a handful of people each day. I don't see why people who desperately need Moorfields can't go on the Northern Line through Central - it'd no doubt be quicker.
