4214 is on the 56 today - rare to have these on a Netherton service, so it's a pleasant surprise!

Some of the B7TL/Eclipse Gemini deckers seem to be at Bootle now.

4200 (Y581 UGC) was noted in the depot there yesterday, and another is on route 61 today.
Don't know if this is temporary or permanent.

Bootle already had two, those being 4208 & 4214.

Thanks, I'm aware of that.

Maybe 4200 is here temporarily, maybe not.
Incidentally, isn't this the first decker Wrightbus ever built?

Given Wrights body number E1 (Eclipse-1), its a significant bus.

It seemed to be travelling around yesterday as it was also noted in Southport, however it has been noted back in use at Birkenhead today!

It was nice to see Enviro400s on the 52s, 53s and 55s today, with a handful also on lates (I had 4415 on the 55 tonight and passed 4412 on it - I also seen 4424 on the 52/52A and an 09-plate on the 53A). They'll probably be on them tomorrow and on the weekend for the Giants event in Liverpool whilst Pulsars take their place on the 60/61.

Also on the 52/52A today was 2268. 2224 replaced 2929 on the 62/62A, however I'm 99% certain that it was replaced itself by 2638 after a few journeys!

2224 started the day on 61's, seen it at about 8.30. all those deckers on City Centre services would explain why the 61 had so many single decks on.

RE: Arriva North West - Bootle Depot
Have yet to see a decker on 60's this morning, every 60 I have seen has been a pulsar, guessing that a lot of city centre services will have deckers. 4420 is on 55.
