Indeed it was! The oldest bus at Bootle allocated to the "flagship services" of the depot... I managed to ride on it and, to be honest, it was alright - better than sister-bus R569 ABA (7569)! It seemed to have strange gear-ratios, and as an obvious result of that, it was a bit sluggish. It sounded great, though, and the ride-quality was nearly perfect (the gearbox-jolting was the only "issue"). There seems to be another Plaxton Pointer 2 with a black skirt-line-thing parked in the (empty!) depot - another R-ABA (7569 was out on the 58, for the record)?

Pulsar 2 MX59 FFZ (3020) was out on the 61 and Enviro400 MX09 LXM (4430) was out on the 56 - both this afternoon.
