To be honest, I'm surprised that it was allowed to go onto that board (considering that it spends the entire day miles away from the depot) as it doesn't seem to be a reliable bus (unless it's improved). As far as I know, an enthusiast driver who does the 312 likes to have interesting buses!

I'm still shocked that big buses are being allocated to the 312 purely down to the few people that seem to use the service when I see it! I always did think that Solos were too big in the first place...!

Well i don't think the 312 is too demanding for it compared to say the 395 so it should be alright on there. But purely from an enthusiasts view i hope it can stay on it permanently . Also with the route only needing one bus your guaranteed to catch the allocated vehicle as long as you know the bus times which is useful for a rare bus like 2800

The reliability of 2800 is abhorrent which is why it spends most of its time on 31s - so that it's close to the depot in the event of a breakdown. It only gets further away from the depot if there's nothing else suitable available.

2800 isnt as bad as it use to be lately as it is on the more than its off but still like to keep it close by just incase but the way things have been latley anything can turn up on any route as allocations have been up the wall.

Of note, 2976 has been on the 312 board for two days in a row (probably pure coincidence, however it may be of interest to somebody!).

2992 is currently parked in Bootle Depot - presumably a loan for the Grand National service!
