I was sat in the Meadows pub on Liverpool road in Maghull yesterday evening and a 311 went past towards Skem with a 310 right behind it the 310 and 311 are supposed to be 30 mins apart so the tunnel accident must have caused a knock on effect right across the city centre.

Well it would wouldn't it, you have all that extra traffic having to go through the Wallasey tunnel so all of a sudden you have queues for the Wallasey tunnel from both Scotland Road and Liverpool city centre sides. Getting in/out of the city centre by road would be a nightmare.

3000 was on a late 432/437 board last night, presumably to go onto a night service afterwards!

I was coming back from Seacombe, and it was just gridlocked all along dock road, past the ferry terminal all the way through Woodside down to Cammell Lairds, Duke street was the same, I seen 2 407's, 3 437's, 464, 3 410's all backed up. Birkenhead and the bus station totally blocked up. Went past the depot and it had around 6 buses parked up waiting to rejoin the routes to get back on time.

Is anyone able to confirm what the three marshalls are at the back of Laird St, it looked like 7635 7650 and 7619 to me.

Thanks

3134 is currently parked in Bootle Depot - presumably a loan for the Grand National service!

Some minor chaos in Neston earlier this evening when a Pulsar on a Parkgate to L'pool 487 couldn't make the left hand turn to the station at the Cross because of the roadworks so headed on the reverse of the route down Brook Street only to be confronted by the no entry sign outside Sainsburys. In the end no way to turn so had to go wrong way down the fortunately pretty short one way bit . .
