2455 was on 411s today. There was an unidentified Myllenium on the back wall at LS this afternoon. I followed 2454 down Arrowe Park Road from Thingwall at about 1pm this afternoon. I caught up with it at Sainsburys in Upton by which time it was in service as a 403. Was this a driver change for the Heswall locals?
And 669 was on 492/5.

RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
so 2456 missed out on getting the interurban livery then.Why do Arriva only do half a job? The same applied to the cadets not getting p+p i.e.2435~8 and 2447~9 And the Welsh pulsars 2906~9 2906 never got done like the others and 2641 never got done but 2629 did. very strange

There are whole depots with only a small proportion of their vehicles having received the Polish & Promote programme as it was put on hold mid way through to prioritise other work - St Helens is a prime example.

Wasn't 2456 one of (if not the last) repaints into the old livery before Interurban became the new standard livery?

RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
Yes 2456 was one of the last to be repainted into the old livery, and still looks good on the outside so doesn't really need it. This bus has been tidied up inside though, seats etc, unlike some of the others that have just been repainted.
