Cross river services picked up only passengers for Liverpool on outward journeys and did not pick up local passengers from Gorsey Lane which is the first stop upon exiting the tunnel on return joruneys. 6 buses were route branded by means of a removable panel above the front windscreens these being 190 to 195 OBG 390J to OBG 395J. These were part of the last batch of buses 183 to 195 ordered by Birkenhead Transport but delivered after the undertaking had become part of Merseyside Passenger Transport Executive and thus were painted in the interim livery of Birkenhead blue and Wallasey cream

I keep thinking they should be branded as Under-River as they technically speaking go under the Mersey!
410 is one of the busiest non Cross River routes so justifies deckers, whether Cross River branding or not, especially on a Sunday.

Single deckers on a Sunday in the summer on a 410 can just imagine to be a tight squeeze

It might therefore be a good idea for Arriva to fully double-deck route 410. It has seemed busy the times I've seen it.

It used to be. After the initial purchase cost (spread over 15 years) the running costs are virtually the same. For far too long Arriva - and Stagecoach - failed to see this. Thankfully, both Merseyside operators have finally realised this.

3133 is still here,on 118/9 today
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - T42 PVM - 25/09/2016 14:22
That should be getting swapped with 4495 once Thomas Hardy have fixed it
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - wirralbus - 25/09/2016 17:26
Have some of the Bolton examples had problems .
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - T42 PVM - 25/09/2016 19:13
It was common for 1 to be in Thomas Hardys
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - bus401 - 25/09/2016 23:35
4495 seems to have been in Hardys for some time now,is it a major job?
