Thanks!

I don't think any did sadly - I believe Stagecoach Manchester and Go North West did the Parklife buses this year

Light up, light up as if you have a choice,
Even if you cannot hear my voice.
I'll be right beside you dear.

Not sure if this is an unusual allocation but I sighted 24166 on the 14 around midday.

Additionally I noticed this evening whilst riding one of the MMC's that the ticket machines have some sort of card scanning thing away from the cab windows. As I don't pay for tickets with a card, what is it technically supposed to be? TIA.

Edit: Here is a picture

It is so QR codes can be scanned, so in theory MyTickets and the like can now be scanned on these machines.

Oh Superman where are you now, when everything's gone wrong somehow, the men of steel, the men of power, are losing control by the hour.

They are QR readers. They're not live yet though.

Industrial action at Gillmoss has been confirmed for June 30th and July 4th. (Although service to Liverpool from Preston, Wirral, and Southport will be unaffected)

According to Good Morning Britain Granada news, the strike was suspended on Thursday while the staff voted on a revised offer.

Stagecoach Gillmoss were off the road today, but the EL1 route between Ormskirk and Edge Hill University was operating. Has another garage operated this today as part of the service contract with Edge Hill, or did Gillmoss?

From what I understand Preston ran it today with management driving, it remains a Gillmoss operated service.

Does anybody know what Preston used on EL1 yesterday as EL1 didn't seem to track yesterday according to BusTimes.org.
