Notice the 'Alexander-Dennis' badge beneath the windscreen. BIZARRE!!
Most avon stuff has the adl badge on it
X821XCK has been fully repainted, whilst X822XCK has also been fully repainted and fitted with electric blinds.
An MCV evolution had broken down by Upton Station, probably 108 or 308
It was 108 with gear box issues
Im excited to see these changes, quite a few new services starting, interesting to see the 441, 442 & 473:

Does this means that the 441/442/473 will be continuously operating between Woodchurch/Barnston and Liverpool throughout the day or are they to be normally Liverpool based routes which run into and out of service via Wirral start points similar to the 143 (the Arrowe Park to Litherland one, not sure if the number is right) and a couple of others? Intersting either way..
Believe there just peak time journeys running in service to start / finish the various ever expanding Liverpool network
Although the 441 appears to run Daily so I presume is a positioning service for the 202/204.
