3088 still in service despite a fair bit of offside panel damage. I would have thought it should have been fixed as it looks awful. Having said that there are quite a few vehicles sporting damage right now that have been left or badly repaired. Cutbacks?......

They're probably waiting until their MOTs before repairing damage to panels to save money, as you've suggested - not exactly the best thing to do (because they look bad), however it's probably better that money was saved this way rather than cutting services (etc...).

Pretty sure that one was on the 375/385 this morning as I heard an Olympian in Skelmersdale Bus Station but I was outside on the lower ground, although many school services operate in the area so it could have belonged to one of those companies!

I didn't see anything! I heard an Olympian in the bus station and just suggested that it could have been an Arriva one (as one was noted on the 375/385) or a school one, although it did sound like one of Southport's!
