It makes sense for ADL stuff to be factory registered in Scotland but I've been stumped for a while as to why Wrightbus stuff is often registered from up there?

Maybe to do with where they come into this country, usually Stranraer. I guess they get registrations allocated for that area.

SV is an Aberdeen area code.

How long have Southport had 2666, seen it earlier on 300. Or has it been ages and I have missed it. Thanks

It's been there for about six months IIRC

Thanks, I obviously didn't notice.

Just seen 6010 out on ‘Driver Training’ in Maghull. Very smart.

Both 6010 and 6012 are being used for driver familiarisation.

All have been delivered to Southport except for 6006 which is awaiting collection from Green Lane and the sole short one, 6015.

2162 had been back in service a couple of times on route 49.
