Do Halton have any plans to buy any other vehicles? I think they should purchase Warringtons outgoing Darts....still in outstanding condition!

#72 on a Liverpool 14

Would be a decent purchase actually! Unlikely though!
Seen 72 before on the 17, passed me on the 14 to Liverpool before just leaving Hough Green before, and was followed around 15 minutes later by Haltons tow truck! An ominous sign that its broke down if ever theres one to be had. Was only thinking yesterday that I hadn't sen it in a while!

I passed you on the 44.
I was thinking the same about #71 and then it showed up this morning, and still with its problems

You may well have done, was miles away, 40 minutes for a 79C to Widnes, flaming ridiculous!
Seen 71 out and about a fair bit, but not sen 72 since its first week in service I dont think.

72 also operated the morning 696 school service today, certainly spread it's wings a bit today!

Must all interwork then, seen it running dead Widnes bound to start a 17A at about quarter to 9.

An illustration of the volume of schools services operated by Halton at 14:30 this afternoon there were 23 buses in Caldwell Road yard, by 14:45 all but one had departed. By 16:45 the number was 24.

As observed from my office window! Confused

Haha! Yeah, I often see the same during college, amazing how the yard is empty when I arrive at 9am, and I spend my first half an hour or so of college listening to constant revving engines followed by reverse horns then silence! Rather interesting to observe!

What are peoples thoughts on the Super Darts Halton operate mainly on the 62 service?
