Schoolrunner 20712 went back to kendal leaving 14199 to go back,20128 is awaiting a slot to go in the garage and all hanover blind buses have had updates for the new school/college/uni term.

Great stuff, I'm hoping 14199 wont go back and will be withdrawn awaiting disposal. Although KL may be struggling for buses so it could go back to fill a gap till something better is found. Is 16185 still just sitting there?

NO, The back seats bottom are leather on ME'S and Chorleys E400's

Anybody know why the back seats are leather and not any others

When people sit on the back seat they have a nasty habit of putting their feet up on the seat opposite them. The leather is tougher then fabric and wont get damaged as quickly.

I was One PX59 XXX E400's the other week and sat at the back and there was already a small hole in the Leather and downstairs on an e400 theres no need at all to put feet on seats as there is a slight curve should i call it below the seat which is great for putting feet on

End of the day you can't prevent damage like that, only try and minimize it. Some drivers will stop and tell person to put their feet on the floor if they have them on the seats but most don't.

PB solos will most likely go back to Preston which is a shame!!! Still don't know what the hell they are doing with 47474!!!

This morning:

14196 on 81B
15680/82 on 40 along with 18324 on 41
Had 18363 on 2a and the new graphics on the site look good. New footballer on the left rear end as mentioned before and then a picture of the new stadium and a new club badge/logo.
There was something up with a MAN at the bus station prompting little Dave and two drivers to walk round the back and look at something, Dave then got on the phone lol.
21007 on 55
16661 on 42
20131, 47017 and 47729 sat idle at the bus station.

It's got in the window of 20127 awaiting reallocation and it is in reserve, merseyside`s 20802 is the B10 you might be thinking of with the engine trap up and 14199 went back to kendal this afternoon.
