Me and my friend went to Skelmersdale on the 311 this afternoon and we seen all seven buses on the way - they were Pulsar 2s MX09 LYC (2942), MX09 LYF (2944), MX09 LYG (2945), MX09 LYH (2946) and MX59 FFY (3019) and Marshall Capitals V646 DVU (7646) and V669 DVU (7669). MX59 FFZ (3020) must have been taken off there during the day. I wonder if there was a reason for these strange allocations...? Me and my friend had 2944 from Liverpool to Skelmersdale, which was worse than a typical Dart, ride-quality-wise... 2945 wasn't much better between Skelmersdale and Aintree afterwards, either, however that journey was ruined by the very slow driver at the wheel... (Interestingly, 2946's front LED destination unit appears to be being problematic at the moment - sometimes it displays half of the destination and at other times it displays either the whole destination or nothing at all...!)

Other allocations of interest today included Plaxton Pointer 2 R551 ABA (7551) on the 58 and Cadet CX07 CSO (2638) on the 53A.

I do apologise the bus I noted was infact 3019. 7551 has been on the 58 on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
