Drivers never seem to sound their horns before reversing in Warrington bus station. If this happened then it could prevent near misses and collisions. Not a problem in any other bus station and when reversing buses off the pits in garages.

If drivers all sounded their horns when reversing in Warrington Bus Station then the constant noise would be horrific...it's an extremely busy place.

Passed to depot yesterday and there was a Plaxton Dart in white park in the side yard

So is Preston, the bus station there is much bigger and busier than Warrington but all buses have to sound their horn before reversing (not that all do, but thats on their head then if anything happens). Pretty sure a little toot toot is much better than risking injuries and damaage.

I couldnt see how sounding your horn would make a difference to be honest. If you can see vehicles reversing then tooting your horn before hand would be pointless..

The white Dart in the Moor Lane yard is KP54 BYN.
This one is a longer Dart, rather than another MPD. (I would guess 10.7m, based on comparing its length to that of the Scania next to which it was parked.)

#5 has a been involved in a incident at Asda this afternoon. There are no signs of damage and no other vehicles so it looks like someone's gone under unfortunately.
On a lighter note the 10.7m dart has been repainted to match the MPDs
Edit: The earlier incident is now a fatal. My thoughts lie with the family of the boy involved and hope the police can determine the circumstances around the accident.

One of the new Pointer II's on the 14 yesterday - looks great in Halton livery!
What's been going on with the usual 14 vehicles these past couple of weeks? I've seen more Myllenniums, Marshall Darts, Enviro200's and Solo's on there lately than I've seen Omnicities
