A trip to Barnsley would be better for that shed.

4210 was broken down earlier on Queens Drive opposite the tesco express with the petrol station, Speke bound, passed it on 4209. Round about 4.30.

An LJ51xxx Gemini working on the 79 yesterday afternoon. I saw it on Brownlow Hill followed by a Commander also on the 79.

I managed to ride on a few Myllenniums today - 2459 (75), 2461 (80A), 2465 (81A) and 2467 (81). 2459 was generally fine - it rode quite well but just looked scruffy inside and outside, especially with its old 410 branding still pretty-much visible. 2461 was also generally fine, however it rode a bit rough and was emitting a concerning amount of white smoke whilst idle and going off of the mark. Words cannot describe completely how unbearable 2465 was - its idle vibrations were horrific and it rode very poorly (very rattly and rough). 2467 had idle vibrations and was a bit rattly and rough.

I also rode on:
- 2586 on the 80, which was generally okay (quite rattly)
- 2589 on the 75, which was generally okay (quite rattly)
- 2634 on the 80A, which was generally okay (it didn't sound too good and was bouncy at the back)
- 2733 on the 80, which was generally okay (a bit rattly and rough, with loud clunking from underneath)
- 4113 on the 76, which was generally okay (didn't sound too good and it was rattly upstairs)
- 4125 on the 86A, which was generally fine (a bit sluggish off of the line)
- 4212 on the 81A, which was generally fine (brakes sounded unhealthy)
- 4476 on the 500, which was generally fine (upstairs interior was badly defaced)

There was a Myllenium on the 699 and Gemini 4209 on the 82 this morning

4209 on the 82 today while 4210 and 4212 were on the 81/81A. A couple of deckers were on the 75 as well.
