Enviro200 KX57 FMC is unusually on the 174 today too which confirms this one is still at HTL!
The other short term loan KX57 FMF is reportedly due to go back (or may have done later this week) apparently based on info provided by member 27701!

HTL seem to be having problems with destys today as the front desty on KX08 HME has failed on the 17B. Now running with cards in windscreen although side and rear are working fine.
RE: HTL Buses - V671 DVU - 15/07/2012 16:27
YJ61 MOF has had faulty destinations screens for well over a month now, shocking considering the bus is only 6 months old. KX08 HME had working dests last time I saw it, but it appeared to not have 258 programmed in as it was just displaying "H T L". Also, does any one know if that dire thing DE52 OJS is up for withdrawal soon?
RE: HTL Buses - buses7675 - 15/07/2012 16:29
Not confirmed but I'd expect the existing Merc Sprinters will be replaced like for like when the new ones turn up!
If new ones have been ordered I expect HTL have retained all its existing Joblink work so it may have been a condition to replace the existing ones as they are now 10 years old!
RE: HTL Buses - V671 DVU - 15/07/2012 16:32
Cheers for that Steve, presume the new ones will be similar to the current ones? It looks that way, HTL seem to be good at getting contracts and retaining them. Can't wait for them to start on the Huyton Circulars, will be a nice change!
RE: HTL Buses - buses7675 - 15/07/2012 17:28
I expect they'll be similar, but Koch don't appear to do conversions on Mercedes Sprinters anymore so an educated guess would be they could have VDL Kusters conversions, similar the VW van they have for Merseylink duties, as they do the same work on Mercedes Sprinters too.

Noticed that HTL's former MPD W341 VGX is for sale on Southdown's site.

Hi All,
A minor correction to previous info regarding Solos YJ12 GXR/P, these are B32F (29 fixed, 3 tip ups) rather than B28F as quoted on the fleetlist. I had my first ride on one today so was able to confirm!
They seem to be Solo M890s too from what I could see of the manufacturers plate, rather than M880 and given that extra window at the front (but smaller back) that could make sense that they were able to get an extra row of seats in. They have the asymmetric doors too even though they are full width (previously only slimline ones had these) which will help get more seats in - Of note the new Arriva NW Solo SRs have the same set up with asymmetric doors even though they are full width.

Former Widnes Commercial Motors (?) Rohill Harrier VO52 XUC is now with HTL, looks very smart!
