Seems not,although Arriva gain more on the Heswall services which is no consolation
to Arriva bus uses on the chester service,having to put up with more lastbus crap !
With First having more depots on the line of the route it would always make more sense to give them a bigger proportion of the service , Arriva always seemed to have buses giving up at the wrong end of the network for them .

It looks to me as if the daytime 72/472 Pensby Rd corridor daytime service is reducing from 6 buses to 3 per hour. That's turning the clock back to pre-dereg Crosville days. This makes sense for Arriva and First, but lousy for the passengers.

But when this service 472 was introduced it was not so much a complimentary service to the 72 as much as two buses following each other minutes apart chasing the very same customer , so wasnt really 6 buses, but 3 buses with one chasing the other to arrowe park gates then it was a free for all from there .

2455 on 409? I think it is, as I saw it going out on a bus exchange before. A Cadet has just passed me with 409 on the dest, going to Laird St.

Not sure if it has been reported but 2425 was seen in service today by myself in Birkenhead, 2424 also out & 2458 was on the 492!

Do the DLA's and VLW's comply with the QBP?
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - CX54 DKD - 30/06/2012 13:07
No, they would breach emissions standards
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - P450 SWX - 30/06/2012 13:32
Well if the VLW don't comply how do the ones first are getting comply as there also Volvo B7TL Wright Gemini's
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - CX06 EBK - 30/06/2012 13:42
Because the First ones are newer so I assume to a later Euro standard.
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - Palatine II - 30/06/2012 13:53
I've been told by managment (the boss of LS), there is no 'standard', anybus can go on QPB. Liverpool got a grant for their new buses.
