Most destination fonts have changed for examplae
89 use to have J LENNON AIRPORT in large font now it shows John Lennon Airport in a smaller font as well as most other routes the numbers are not slimline they are all chunkier.

I only saw a few, 20, 320, 32A so didn't know of the others. The 30 displays 'Sutton Manor School' and not 'Sutton Manor'.

T42PVM is however entitled to his own opinion but I totally disagree with him.

They weren't that great at Green Lane in my opinion. Yes they were good for the Warrington route but they were all in desperate need of a refurbishment and a repaint

The only one of that batch I would rate as a decent bus now is 2720

What was the vehicle allocation on the 30/37 today? Wouldn't be surprised if the smaller solos ended up on here instead of the 35's.

Noticed that the 38's were struggling today. The 4.25 departure from St. Helens is currently 15 minutes late.

That's quick, after the accident someone said it was so badly damaged it probably wouldn't be repaired IIRC

When i saw the damage i thought myself it wouldn't but just shows what the guys at the body shop are capable of.
