Well obviously they have no choice but to fix it as it is needed in service.. if they left it off the road like they wanted to there would be no point having it here at all! Id imagine theyve used parts off that scrap DLA at the back to make 4025 roadworthy rather than spend anything on it. Either that or bodge it up like its former depots did..
It often failed to complete a full day of work at Bootle and, according to my mate who works as a driver at Speke, it was the same there (but let's not start on criticising specific depots again - they all have their weaknesses). It just shows that depots CAN fix buses when they really want to, such as in this situation (if correct).
DLA 4143 was on the 472 this afternoon
DLA's are regularly on there these days, noted the odd pulsar on there recently as well.
Both should be a thing of the past soon when these hybrids start work , time for the 471/2 QBP to be entirely double deck operated and relegate the single deckers to non tunnel work and the 487/8.
4000 seen in Crosshall Street this afternoon, with three mechainics looking under the bonnet!

Would have been more worthwhile posting if it was actually in service!
The 3 presidents must be in their final few days at Birkenhead now surley, bet they cant wait to see the back of them! If only Southport knew what to expect..
Its a bit late now, but noted cadet 2448 on the 410s yesterday. Also noticed 2479 on the 118/9s, not seen that one for a good while
Around 18/19 Hybrids at the depot now, should be going into service next week, I've heard Monday, as all of them are not here yet, the rest will just be put into service when they arrive.
Entry into service for the B5Ls is Sunday 24/03/13 on the 432/433/437 according to the Arriva North West Facebook page.
Enviro 4403 - J300ABW is here, for MOT.
