Sefton lane in maghull has been closed as the river alt has burst its banks and flooded houses so this will mean a diversion for the 133 anyone know of any other road closures/bus diversions in liverpool due to flooding?

Not Liverpool, but Peasley Cross Lane in St Helens has been shut (think it's reopened now) with the 32/33/35 group of services diverted via Jackson Street and Sherdley Road. I presume everything else was diverted this way too, the 17 and 28 etc..

Pointer 1 33036 was on the 10A this afternoon, gave me a shock to say the least!

Pretty shocking QBP break from Stagecoach with that on the 10A, I am surprised that they are still out, a lot of reserve buses are still about, don't really want to start the first bus issue again but wonder if the reserves are being kept going so that if they did take over they could send some Enviro300's over to cover the QBP's.

...or just the simple fact that not all the buses are back from London and not all of those already back are ready for the road just yet?

Had thought of that as well of course.

As far as I know, logos were only covered - as shown on 27701:

Its front logo still doesn't look like it's been placed in the centre, so I doubt that they were taken off!
