There's also a Hartford station to the show ground via Northwich service I'm not sure if Aintree Coachline are also running that one or if that one's a different operator.
On the whole it's only Eastham vehicles that hsve fleetnumbers. CDK has vanished from it's usual haunts over the last couple of weeks, straingley enough, it's been replaced by the BCI

It's just broken. The full destination board has been taken out for repair to avoid confusion to passengers, as it was stuck displaying '272 Ellesmere Port'.

How long as S808 BTT been at ACL for?
RE: Aintree Coachline / Helms of Eastham - YK53 GXO - 15/07/2017 10:40
Enviro 200 YX17 NJO (123) will be repainted into standard fleet colours along with Trident W5 ACL (223) over the summer once the schools are finished.
Enviro200 WX09 TGU (117) has been repainted all over white and transported elsewhere for sale.
Similar Enviro200 WX09 TCK (118) will be sold in September as a part exchange with ADL for a new 67-plate Enviro 200.
Early next year, Enviros YX12 FRD (119) and YX12 GGV (120) will be sold, part exchanged for 2 new 18-plate Enviro 200s, it is unconfirmed as to whether these will be Mk2 Enviro200s or Enviro200 MMCs.
Trident V137 MEV is due to be withdrawn from the Aintree fleet shortly, with already stripped Trident T38 KLD going for scrap next week.
Two more dual-axle BCIs are due for Aintree in a short while. When they arrive, Scania GB03 ACL will be brought back over to the Eastham garage.

Read previous posts. It is a new vehicle purchased, not on loan.
