I presume 3 of these are the 3 extras coming to Birkenhead that 2829 said where due for extra 432 buses

It would be a farce if Birkenhead got any additional VLWs. They have enough surplus deckers that are currently gathering dust on routes like the 403/413 that can be used on the additional 432s instead. No additional deckers needed here.

A further confirmed fleet number and registration: 4208 is LJ51DGY.

Thank you for this list of DLPs and VLWs so far. I have been unable to work out whether the DLPs inlude both lengths. Also, as a total of 22 VLWs are due there should be more to follow. Mind you, other VLWs are currently being refurbished for the North East, which may delay any more coming here for a few weeks.

I think you'll find the other 11 VLWs are the ones we are getting here in the North East.

Oh, so if 11 VLWs have been diverted to the North East, I know not to wait for any more here for the time being. As London withdrew around 30 VLWs last year, there would not have been enough for you to get 11 and us still to get 22 examples!

No, those 11 were always North East bound. 30 came out of London, 8 went to the Shires then 11 to both North East and North West, all done by Thornton's of Ashington.

I think it's something like 11 for Arriva North West, 11 for Arriva North East and 7 for Arriva Southern Counties if memory serves me correctly.

4212 is also at Speke. I didn't know 4213 was?

Yep, 4213 definitely is a Speke bus. I've seen it myself a couple of times on the 81 and 86.
