Ahh so it'll be that one I saw getting prepped yesterday morning, it was in the depot parked next to the other Geminis with A1 to Aintree Races on the front.

Have Ls got that much of a vehicle shortage, are there quite a few vehicles off the road or is there or reasons. So many loans.

It still doesnt answer the question though is Laird Street short of buses for some reason .

6 new Streetlites (sorry if that is spelt wrong) and 2 57 plate Solos to replace 819/886.

I really hope the 6 new streetlites are for the 418/419 to accommodate it's 6 pvr. This service hasn't had investment in decent buses since the R-reg darts first ever came

New buses for a low cost unit route, personally somehow I can't see that happening, but I'm not going to rule it out. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

In regards to buses off the road, there's a few DAF SB120s, Volvo B5LHs and Volvo B7TLs off the road at the moment.
