The ALX's are not going. And it is possible that 2452 has gone to SH for a new engine. It is rumoured they are going to Speke, as they want them.

Thats a surprise if Speke want them and I would have thought that they wanted rid of theirs, we will have to see.

As far as I'm aware Speke have wanted them for a while. Would be a shame if they did get rid, after they all got a P and P treatment. I also find it annoying, how Ls' have not had theirs painted etc, yet when they leave they are getting the full lot done!

The same thing has happened to Speke with their X-AJA Cadets.

RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
I've heard differently, I've heard that Speke don't want the mylleniums as there's nothing for them to go on, and they allready want shunt on their own (not to keep them) but thats more down to the managing director then the depot itself.

They too ordered pulsars as part of this years order, (wether it was succesful or not I don't know, circumstances have changed with the 10x Enviro 400's coming here, but there are a lot of pulsars with no depot directly linked to them this year, bar Runcon, LS, and Chester leaving several unknown).

RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
Not sure weather to believe it he said 3125 was parked in LS yesterday with drivers looking around it
if this is true and it is one of LS Pulsars wounder what batch are coming here as I was told its 3109-3122
Hopefully someone who has A contact at the depot can confirm

Also with the 174/175 starting shortly any clue of what 2 buses are coming as I know its 1 bus but needs 1 spare incase of breakdown I guess it will be a Optare Solo or Mini Dart?

3125 has arrived at LS and was cleaned yesterday, 4 others also arrived with more coming today.

7558 has now had various parts removed from it.

RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
3125 reg is MX12 KWT.

The others are parked behind the wash so I do not know fleet numbers for these or the ones arriving today.

Not heard anything about buses for the 174/5.
