Strike action has been confirmed at Birkenhead [Rock Ferry], Chorley, and Preston depots.

Drivers will strike from September 29th to October 5th, and then again from October 13th until October 19th. Further industrial action will occur if the dispute is not settled.

Why have the 471/472's recently been using single deckers rather than double deckers?

Two Enviro300's have turned up at Rock Ferry in the last day or so, 27212 & 27217. Both having last been up in Scotland at Glenrothes, however were in Leamington Spa until earlier this year, and originally new to Cumbernauld for the X19 in Glasgow (the batch was 27211-27228, of which quite a few are at Rock Ferry & Gillmoss now)

27217 only turned up yesterday, it might’ve been 27219 or 27220 you saw on the 38 to Eastham Ferry
