There is loads of those as well right across the board, will be interesting to see how they go and it and with what. |

No X reg cadets left at speke now they all got transferred to birkenhead a few weeks back only 55 and 07 reg cadets at speke now hope they go soon too as there to small for our routes. |

RE: Arriva North West - Bootle Depot
Had 7569 on the 61 on my way home last night, this is still quite a good little bus and better than most X-ANC's. However, this had the remains of an NFS notice in the window and hardly any internal ads. Wonder if the withdrawal of this is imminent as in a couple of weeks maybe. |

RE: Arriva North West - Bootle Depot
2946 (MX09 LYH) SB200/Pulsar2 seen running round with partially-failed LEDs. Today it's off to Netherton displaying '53A --------TON'. I actually noticed it on Tuesday displaying '62A --------ARK' and '62 -------ANE' when it was turning around for Penny Lane, but I didn't bother reporting it as I thought Bootle would've repaired it by now. Evidently not! Should've been easily fixed by now  Keep an eye out for it... |
