Why is it never this interesting when I am in town? :rolleyes:

(it is interesting occasionally, of course; eg when 18357 turned up on the 76)

I noted scrolling destinations yesterday on some of the Darts. No doubt they have been like that for ages and I have been unobservant.

A Versa noticed lurking on Fleetwood depot earlier. It's been several months since they moved to Preston and Solos replaced them.

Its a shame Lillyhall don't use scroll via's anymore, or any via's at all for that matter! Looks a lot more professional and obviously helpful to none-local passengers. On my outings this Easter back at home its surprising how much passengers ask the driver "does this bus go to such-and-such" - especially with 30/31 differences. Even with the vias so many people would still probably ask to be fair :lol:

Can never see the point of having a nice LED if your not going to use scrolling functionality! Regardless of refresh rates, an LED stuck on Moorclose Circular all day can't be healthy :lol:

22274 is of course ex Fife. When up here, it was named The Backstreet Boys, after the US boy band, following a local competition. The name was removed prior to transfer to Preston in 2009.

In or out of service?

The only modern Pointer Darts to be found at Preston are Preston based 34620 and Chorley based 34680

Ah. Come to think about it it could be 34680. I scribble them down on a piece of paper when I see them, then check my list later.

Once again, stagecoach appears to be taking a backward step.

Which depot is currently using 16325, which i have seen a couple times lately.

Also which depot(s) are likely to get 20905 & 20945 ?

20945 is the last B10M that I need to see, from the North West fleets (Cumbria, Manchester, & Merseyside).

Not previously reported on here, but Glenvale transport t/a Stagecoach in Merseyside's takeover of Chester and Rock Ferry from First has been cleared by the OFT. Full text will be available on their website shortly.

Thanks to the chaos in Carlisle today saw a lot of buses running to The Courts, or in the case of 34712, Th Courts! Pity I was not out photographing.

Interesting (to nutters like me) that some are screened English Street with The Courts underneath and some The Courts with English Street underneath.
