Just heard all LS buses called in due to the weather and lack of gritters.

Night bus N450s called off tonight also.

Yes, 819 is on them because LS are short on buses again apparantly!

They have a problem now though if the other MPD fails!

Easy they catch up with the bus on the 492 and take it out of service , Merseytravel work has to come before commercial work .
819 is yet again on the 492 today, I did manage to capture it yesterday (see my flickr), however I did feel it was a tad small especially at peak time in the afternoon.
The 487 Mon-Sat daytimes extended to/from Ness Gardens, and in Liverpool to Castle Street from 17th Feb
There is now 6 Wright Gemini bodied Volvo B5LH's for this depot parked outside the Wrightbus factory in Ballymena ready for delivery, but they probably go via (Dennision Commercials Volvo of Ballyclare) for PDI to be carried out before they arrive in Merseyside

Interesting - but wouldn't it makmore sense for all Ness journeys to be 488, with 487 denoting only Parkgate journeys?
