Apparently theres some other company that Arriva share the depot with, a steam cleaning company, possibly, I can't really remember! But yeah, it's not the first time First buses have been sighted there, they often appear to use the cleaning services of this company.

first get there buses engines and chassis steamed cleaned there as the steam cleaner belongs to an outside contractor but as to make arrivas buses priority,so first bring buses from chester,rockferry and wrexham there to get done.
Dont know if its been mentioned yet, but there is at least one Royale bodied Volvo Olympian now parked up in the shed in Rock Ferry in front of 34230 and 60109. Not sure which one but I assume it and the others to follow (if they arnt hiding there already) will be out on the school services this week.

are there any of 30241/43/45/46/30836/37/39/66700 to 6 at depots there yet
also 39935 reported out of use are the others parked up as well
Did see 2 royales today out on school runs.
Regarding the sightseeing olympian, I think theyre still out, probably just that one VOR.
It appears 60053 now has hanover LEDs fitted, also 34225 on 38.

Well considering most of the vehicles currently allocated to Rockferry are just sitting there, Manchester and other divisions may as well take them. Saves a job for the new buyer at least.
I've updated the fleetlist.
