This is ok if you live in West Kirby , Heswall and Wallasey where Arriva seem to be the dominant operator.
Stagecoach cant really increase there Wirral operations as the depot already looks like its fit to burst when all the vehicles are in the depot. Its this point i was trying to get across if they had a depot with more space they would look to get a disc increase and continue expanding.

Strange move swapping a hybrid for a older decer supose 4108 could replace a DLP or VLW

Mentioned on Facebook 4108 is just here to have an advert applied, PVR drop from 3rd september means these Hybirds can be spared so are moving on
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - bus401 - 22/08/2017 11:30
Can't they put an advert on in Speke?On another point why is 2545 hardly ever out in service,seems a waste after getting refurbished?Also where the solos going,out of the country I hope.

702 Oxton – West Kirby
The 1600 journey is now operated for Merseytravel by Arriva.

Also

This and the loss of the 175 sees off the Solo's.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but if the newly-privatised Crosville hadn't sold off a large portion of its Rock Ferry depot for social housing shortly after deregulation, the current operator (Stagecoach) would have plenty of space in which to expand and challenge the dominance of Arriva on the Wirral.

That was the only really maddening thing about deregulation was the asset stripping of some companies depots , Crosville at Heswall was a prime example as well.
