Is there any reason it's not being used for frontline service?

Apparently it was only aquired to cover the school at winsford then the plan is to just use on rails etc.
Due to the costs incurred in removing the middle door they deem it non cost effective for how long in normal service It would of served due to the mersey region wanting new low/zero emissions veichles in and around the city centre.
Most of that age veichles will be replaced within the next 12-18 months with brand new low/zero emission buses.

It’s been on the pits for months with a big list of jobs stuck on the windscreen. However recently it’s been moved to another pit so it must be nearer completion.

Think they’re waiting on parts as the main delay

Thanks for this. Been wondering what the arrangements are for bus services over the festive period as nothing appears to have been put on the Merseytravel website yet.

4412 is finally back out on the road after a long absence.

RE: Arriva North West - Bootle Depot
Can I ask if 4418 and 4619 have entered service yet? Currently not having any luck looking for them, have seen 4412 and 4414 multiple times this week though. TIA
