Destination display on the new mellor is missing it's route number, and a solo spotted yesterday on the 558 with a paper number on windscreen. Wonder how often the destination is checked/updated.
Service 37 is still showing the old via points from when they last operated the service,

the T1 T2 T3 are not included so tesco must be funding it however it operates a few minutes less than the M71  I think

I haven't seen the T1/T2/T3, having went to see it from using the Bustimes timetable. Definitely keep an eye out for it and get a photo if ever I see it. With the M71 running these days, I don't see it being any use, especially if the buses run close together.
