Wonder if 2522/2531/2532 are coming back as they are not allocated to any depots both in store at Southend

I think most of the busway traffic light crossings are basically designed for straight on travel to keep the buses on the busway. Those kerbs look very square which means are not designed for left and right hand turns into and off the busway.

It would improve links to Capita, reduce the duplication on the Expressway, stop the buses queuing as much on Chester Road between Capita and it would potentially increase passenger numbers slightly as then it might grab some passing trade off the 62. Multiple benefits to the change if the roads were changed slightly. The X30 could go down to Cadets/Pulsars only but they seem to like the gas buses on the X30.

Whom is going to pay for this work to be done , i think there may be better things in the area to spend the money on unfortunately in this economic climate.

Bit of a mixed bag on the ex Halton 61 this evening.
I saw Sapphire branded 3139, Cadet 2490 and Pulsar 3001 (on loan from Laird St??)

Quick fleet update here.
1022 and 1023 were here for the 200s, 1023 returned earlier this week, 1022 is returning to Speke tomorrow.
The initial list of vehicles here for Halton routes was 2491, 2493, 2494, 2601, 2608, 2611, 2614, 2616, 2617, 2699, and 7923/7931.
2601 has left, replaced by 3001. 2611 has left, replaced by 2941. 3024 and 2578 arrived here last Saturday. 1012 and 1016 arrived from Southern Counties to replace the Clicks. 2608 is due to be swapped tomorrow, and at least 2 more vehicles are due tomorrow, maybe more. Heard a whisper 2 vehicles will be coming from Dawsons Rentlals.
Lots of changes/updates happening all the time, will try and post whenever I get info.
