4426 is here, just seen it on the 204.
Been informed that apparently 4414/15 are also there but I haven't seen these yet.

They're replacements for hybrids moving to GL.

Hmm initially thought the 3 deckers from Bootle were B7TL replacement’s ???? realistically Speke could do with more/retaining deckers than losing them unless average fleet age has anything to do with it? 4414/15 appeared on the 81A/86 today respectively.

Speke will be adequately compensated for the 'deckers being transferred out, if what I've heard about the Tridents which aren't going to the Midlands comes to fruition.

I was driving down Bentham Drive yesterday morning approaching Childwall Valley Road when a double decker with an overall JD Sports advert crossed in front of me. I assumed it was on the 79 but can anybody confirm that it is an Arriva bus?

Anyone know if the morning peak 82Ds and 86Ds were popular when they used to run?
Just wondering if we’ll see a return of these services at some point now that the bus only lane through Lime Street is opening for the 7 from the 21st?

The way this council has messed up Lime Street? (making it one way only for taxis, buses & rail traffic) I highly doubt we will see those peak hour D services again sadly, stranger things have happened mind..
