Unfortunatly it seems that solars at Rock Ferry are appearing on more or less anything. People tell me that its because of maintenance but surely the bus if it has a breakdown is taken out by a fitter and then when it is deemed fit for service is put out again. Thats how Chester works i think but please correct me if i am wrong.

The initial PVR was 9. Any failed Solar was quicky repaired and replaced the existing replacements [Dart or Scania L] as soon as possible. This continued at RF but seems to have ceased recently.

Just before transfer an additional bus [Scania] was allocted to cover road works delays in Chester - 60106 appeared at RF as did the Solars.

For whatever corporate reason First bought few, if any, new buses recently to cover the fact that NEW buses were required for Olympic services. These would need to be paid for as they are used elsewhere later.
