Exactly! We'll have to check to see if any Solo's/Solo SR's are on any unusual routes. Having 2 on the 34/34A yesterday was unusual for Mon-Sat daytime although does explain why the Darts appeared to be everywhere else.

There is a normal solo on the 36/A and 32 this morning. When I passed the 36 this morning it looked like it was full with a standing load.

Surely the 2 Solos that used to be on 360 shorts should be back on St Helen's routes so this might account for the 2 on 34/34As, but a decker on 312s round Skem seems very odd

The driver is a bus enthusiast and asked could he take it mon,tue and wed so the shunters said yeah but looks like the decker is going out on the 33 longs today as it was just about to leave the yard at 07:20am this morning.

Seen a Decker on Bickerstaffe Street around 0805 this morning - couldn't see what it was on as I was waiting at Stand 1 at the time.

7634 is still alive and well on the 20s.

4206 is on the 33.

It's still an absolute waste on 33s, I'm really struggling to understand why they're seeing no use on Liverpools where their capacity would actually be advantageous.

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
Since 4206 is on the 33 does anyone know what route 4207 is on ?

Parked up at the engineering bays.

Does it need maintenance or has just sat in the depot all day ?

I've seen the Geminis on the 10A, I think they were last resorts.
