As has been reported already, Enviro200 SN16 OGP (122) has now received vinyls as we to complete it's livery. It has been down in Chester over the last week on the various Whitchurch diagrams, a variation to its usual 272 allocation.
Also acquired is Volvo B7R/Plaxton SP06 FVF from Stagecoach North. It has since been painted in standard Aintree livery and is parked up in the Eastham Garage at present.
Scandal GB03 ACL is back at the Eastham garage along with Trident V532 ESC and Solo MX09 AOL, due to the schools being off at present.
The City-Rail-Link service has returned to using Frodsham St/Foregate St this week, stopping at the old Stand D on Foregate St (now stand 1). On numerous occasions be proving to be a nightmare already with pedestrians and delivery trucks in the early morning.
Also, in recent weeks, Aintree have been helping out Arriva with spare buses on the Birkenhead-Liverpool Wirral Loop Line rail replacements, on Saturday's only, using some V-ESC tridents, Enviro400 SN58 CDK, and occasionally Trident/Mylennium AW04 XCK.

Why? It's just over a year old and no doubt came with a paint warranty!

And convenience - there just hasn't been the time to for it to go into paint. It's a new bus and has been used pretty much every day since it arrived. And with not many spare vehicles to use in its replacement for a short period of time, there has been no chance to get it done until it was off the road anyway for its MOT at the end of February!

Does anyone have a list of the buses which are based at Hooton Depot? I cant find out where the buses are based. I see Quack77 has done a fleetlist (http://quack77.uk/fleetlists/aintree-coachline.php) but as I say, it doesnt state where the buses are based. Simply googling doesnt seem to be doing much help at the moment. Any help would be appreciated.
