Come back from Chester to Cheshire Oaks on a different bus from the same batch and this time it was a very pleasant ride , some buses just seem to develop these little niggles and because they don't get sorted out when they happen they just keep on getting worse .

Also sometimes if they happen to go up and over lots of traffic calming it does not do the framework any good over time , they will start off happy as larry and end up with this that and the other just shaking away.

To a point, but Merseytravel schools don't have an age limit unlike TfGM....

It's just making the best of the resources available for the relatively short time until new vehicles start coming in.

That's all well and good, but inevitably they'll end up on the 471/2.

It has no heating which seems incurable, so only used on shunts and the occasional school.

I suppose we have this odd situation today where there is a West Kirby / Birkenhead North / Birkenhead Central - Liverpool rail replacement operated by Arriva , is the Hamilton Sq - Birkenhead Central - Conway Park - Hamilton Sq replacement running as well.
