I apologise; I misjudged the duty that this bus was operating yesterday! It was on the 345, but not on the duty that operates the evening Skelmersdale journey. This afternoon, DAF/ALX400 T297 FGN (4057) was on the duty that operates the evening Skelmersdale journey.

2638 was on my 53A today - needless to say, it sounded much better than it has done in the past, but it still vibrates badly when idle! Marshall V660 DVU (7660) performed well on my 311 from Skelmersdale to Aintree this afternoon, although its suspension sounded very bad - not as bad as Marshall V638 DVU (7638) yesterday, though! The 14:23 311 journey from Skelmersdale didn't show up; Plaxton Pointer 2 X235 ANC (2235) was supposed to be running it, but, strangely, that was on the 53A this afternoon! It must have been booked off during the day but put back onto the road, but whatever had replaced it remains a mystery...!
