A maroon coloured dart if my memory serves me right with route branding and destination was just a full on sticker covering the front destination glass.
I remember when first bus from wigan use to run the 140 too as use to come into our depot (arriva st helens) for water/coolant everyday.

I do remember a bit more to the branding so Don't know if that's another bus or the same bus with a more basic branding at some point

I don’t remember seeing that Dart I’m sure I remember seeing a Maroon coloured vehicle on it once I can’t remember I’d it was a Dart though

I remember the maroon dart but don't remember this one, think the maroon was a 53 plated one.

211, 310 & 311. I last did it with a Volvo B10M/Alexander PS in 2006, when it was re-routed out of new Brighton via Mount Road replacing the 433.

They have? I noticed something near Maghull on the BusTimes map earlier this afternoon, first time I think i've properly noticed.
