I expect there'll be something in the promotional leaflets available onboard; there was a small section about the Solos being due in the last one

Solo 679 is now parked on the front fence not sure if it is here for service or not but is currently parked next to MX12 KVF.

On another note 2979 has returned from it's loan spell at Wythenshawe as it has been on the 352's today.

i had 2979 today on me first half of me duty,not a bad drive in my opinion.
surprised to see 679 there unless it was surplus to requirements else where or come to pick up something.

It was parked with the back facing the road in a line of four parked up.

I'd hedge my bets and say it's for service parked there (I did notice it myself earlier) as if it was for work, it'd more likely be up the back end. As ever though, we'll soon see!

guess i might get that tomorrow on the speke hall shuttle if i can as our own 4 seem to have gone quite sluggish lately.

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
I've not ridden any of 676, 677, 678 or 680 recently so if they've been tuned down, as Wrexham did to their examples, that's a massive shame. They were nicely nippy with the right driver! Have to let us know what 679 is like if you do get it MM.

Also, as I reported on the Southport thread, 3311 is now on the engineering pits having broken down at Toll Bar overheating on the way in.
