Re: Oddities !

66692 has now been removed from the bustimes.org list, so IF it has been withdrawn, perhaps First were just using-up the fuel in the tank when I saw it (above).

Just seen 66692 with - " L Driver Training L" - on the destination display, and I was able to get a good look at the driver and a couple of yellow-jacket guys sat behind him, so training it must have been ! (according to bustimes.org it had been on the X50 earlier today). The last time I s...
