It was out most of last week on different routes (anything between 20,31 & 34/34A).

7651 is the Marshall in the bodyshop I've been informed. Apparently 7652 will need a gearbox before its transfer.

You'd have thought another example would have been sourced rather than endure the labour-consuming job of replacing a gearbox? 7652 given a rare reprieve it would appear.

We don't know how good a condition its in overall do we, its obviously in quite good condition to be crossing the pennines for more service work as opposed to be going for scrap. There are of course plenty of buses to choose from to find another gear box as well.

Is there a reason why Green Lane based 3012 has returned from the body shop partially repainted and with a Liverpool skyline photo stuck onto the ramp?

It features the three graces and a mersey ferry sailing past

It's a trial, which I'm personally hoping to prove successful. An excellent addition and a welcome return to a more localised feel to a nationally standardised fleet. Top marks to the lady or gentleman who introduced it, pure genius.

Any update on the bus involved in the accident in Manchester? Was it 2936?

2936 is Just parked up round the back looking worse for wear and would be very suprised to see it back on the road any time soon if at all.
