Look's like it's turned out that way as I've been informed that it's successfully passed for preservation, no idea if it's been purchased by an individual or the NWVRT (unless it will eventually pass to the latter)

While it will be stored at NWVRT it is owned by two private individuals.

There is the possibility however of 4113 going into preservation based on what I've heard.

All of the batch that went to Aintree Coachline are all showing SORN.

I happened to come across 4110 on Green Lane in Thornton today despite it still showing on SORN, I guess they were just SORN by ACL for the summer holidays although the DVLA hasn't taken the status off it just yet, not sure about the others though.

4117 been scrapped for a few months now

[NathanR]

RE: Arriva Merseyside Volvo B7TL Alx400s
List updated for February 2025
4113 and 4123 are now in use with Bus Link of Burton Upon Trent
4110 is still out and about as I saw it for myself a few weeks ago, same goes for 4115 which has been repainted into Aintree livery.
I'm not sure about 4108 and 4112 as despite having new MOTs they still show up as SORN, but the same goes for 4110 and 4115 despite seeing them recently so possibly an oversight by Aintree or DVLA.
