2475 sounded far more healthy than the Marshall Dart I rode on the 61 afterwards. 2475 had few rattles since its p & p, much better than when it operated for years on the 79!

Unfortunately, Arriva don't seem to do things on condition, more age now and that is despite it having some money spent on things quite recently. Remember 2402 & 2403, p&p'd and then about a year later withdrawn, you wonder what the point is don't you. As for the marshall darts, well most of Bootles Marshall's are a bit rough these days, not long left for those either.
