Indeed 2141 is one of the Park & Ride buses and is a rare sight in Liverpool.

Seems strange that out of the four buses bought for the Park and Ride services only two of them are actually in the dedicated livery for it. I wonder if 2143 or 2144 have ever made it onto any other routes before? I can imagine it would be quite a sight in Liverpool if they have

They were repainted when the Park and Ride network shrunk.
2143 and 2144 don't have Wayfarers or baseplates in them so they don't go in service.

4412 was noted back at Green Lane last week, reportedly there for repair work before going back to Southport.

2141 replaced a poorly 2633 hence why it was on there.
Had the pleasure of 2728 on 300 today.

I seem to remember 2142 on the 300, it was a few years ago

Anything can work on any route, Noted on the 300 during the ladt few months have included a Gemini and within a few days a Envifo 400, it's not uncommon to see dd's on the 43/46, the 47 (the spare 400), 49 even occasionally the 44, but that is unusual. I've had a ride on 2142 on the 300 which turned up as I was returning to New strand from a visit to Lets Travel

I wonder what was up with 2633? I had it for my first part and it drove fine.
