Nor are X-ANC, X-OBN and V-DVU Darts, none of which are particularly rare on the 53 even today.

Occasionally, QBP breaches do happen, but at least in this case there will be enough seats to go around. Were I a regular commuter on the 53, I'd probably rejoice if 4097 turned up, given the level of overcrowding this route often sees in peak hours.

It could be a lot worse - an X-ANC would give you hard seats, fewer of them than a Pulsar and less standing room. Elsewhere, Speke depot uses ELC Myllenniums fairly frequently on the 82 in place of deckers, those being some of the very worst buses anywhere within Arriva North West.
