I would think they would start their duties at Moorfields and take bus back and then the other bus does a late turn and returns after. I have buses in London travel 40miles to do a 6hr standby so even if it starts at Speke that is not big mileage. When I did controlling at Liverpool park way a few years ago. Bottle sent 2 buses for Standby every AM peak then they moved to Central for PM Peak.

Noted today on the Moorfields/Hunts Cross RR were 4117, 4658, 4677, 4680, 4699 & 4819 plus I'm told 4411 & 4431 were also out (didn't see those however)

I couldn't log in yesterday but yeah I think I was on 4431, also managed 4699 too.

I've noticed LS and maybe SH, GL vehicles were on this Tuesday/yesterday too.

This morning's Moorfields to Hunts Cross rail replacement saw 4113, 4117 and 4699. A track circuit failure at Liverpool Central brought out some nice 'heritage' traction!

113 flew past me in town before, was wondering what it was for

Flooding on the Chester line today so rail replacement is in use between Hooton and Chester, using B7TL's 4113/4123 and Streetdecks 7772

Edit, 4446 also out

Arriva will be operating the rail replacement between Hall Road and Formby this coming week, with Network Rail replacing a bridge over the River Alt. The line is closed from tomorrow (Monday 19 August) up to and including Friday, Peoplesbus also involved with standby services. Hopefully the ex London Streetdecks will be in use.

7772-7774 (ex London SW2-4) already up and certainly 7772/4 already seen use on rails.....haven't seen any mention of SW1 (7771) being up here yet

RE: Merseyrail Rail Replacement Buses - gka472l - 19/08/2024 07:34

7773/4 are tracking on the Hall Road/Formby rails this morning....I'm off up that way to see what's out.
