4014 (S204 JUA) is probably slower due to having its London emissions equipment fitted, whereas 4016 (S206 JUA) has had it removed.
In fact, lots of DLAs seem to have had their particulate filters taken off as most are now due road tax of £500 a year, hopefully their acceleration has improved as a result.

Sluggish 4014 is still taxed at £165 a year according to DVLA's database.

An Interurban Plaxton Pointer 2 was on the 312 today! It looked and sounded like 2234 (looked shiny, as if it'd just been repainted), but I could be wrong as I seen it from a distance!

You could be right KU02 as 2234 was reported as getting repainted here, so it could be allocated here if it was 2234

Noted on Prescot Street, Liverpool today was Pointer Dart 2349 V579DJC on a 10A.

Yes seen 2349 in Queen Square around 4:15.
There was also another dart on the 10A but couldn't identify which one.
Also seen - or rather I heard it before I seen it, 2211 on Baldwin Street with what sounded like a very sick engine, no expert but sounded as though it was dying a slow death.
