Are any Marshall's still in service in the region or have they all been withdrawn now?

7636 and 7654 still soldier on in Southport.

Really? Wow. I thought they had all disappeared by now.

And they are still alive and well. Just been on 7654 and I feel it would be a shame if it went for scrap. Any budding preservationists out there?

I know was just being a little cheek. Seriously 7654 is a nice motor.

Is 7654 rattly though like most of them?

Hardly a rattle to be heard last time I rode it. A fantastic bus - and it's not often you can describe a Marshall Dart as that. Out of all the batch, 7654 and 7655 were the best and it would be a real shame if they were both scrapped. Never thought much of 7656.
