Cant see that as theres nothing to replace the Commanders at Speke, This will just be a loan to cover something
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - wirralbus - 19/06/2016 08:00
Has there been a commander at Birkenhead before ?

Yes, 2505 spent a day on loan in November 2014...I managed a shot https://www.flickr.com/photos/dmc1947/15712041227
Plus ( think the odd one has been used when the Open Golf was on a few years back (not the more recent one, the one before) between Hoylake & West Kirkby, that was one of the 260* ones too (2604/5?)...and all of 2621-2628 were stored at Laird Street when new.

very much doubt it as what will replace the buses thats moved? you can only really say when there is conformation of a date of new buses entering service or buses that have been drafted in outside the north west entering service. i know you're saying hopefully but as i asked at the start of this pot, what will replace buses thats moved

Unlike the Liverpool garages though Birkenhead doesn't reduce services during the school holidays , so when it comes to the high summer time there is buses available in the Liverpool divisions for use elsewhere as long as they get them back in September.
Never really understood the drop in service in some divisions but not in all divisions during the summer.

Speke operate the 699 which comes off in the summer when the university breaks up which creates even more spares for speke.

In Liverpool there are very few dedicated school bus services compared to those on the Wirral. Consequently, when the schools and colleges close for the holidays there is less demand on regular service bus routes. Prior to deregulation, many Liverpool routes were augmented at peak times but now most routes have a standard frequency throughout the day.
