3127 broke down on the 410 (New Brighton) Gorsey Lane (Wallasey Tunnel). I think i heard the panic alarm go off we all had to get off and get on the 432 behind us to new brighton,funny enough 3127 was at New brighton when we got there so dont know what happened there.

Indeed it is 2439
Hybrid 4503 on the 2 and another on 410 today
2439 still retains roller blinds. Arriva cutting corners again by not fitting Hanovers?
I have seen at least two vehicles still with roller blinds in use out of the Birkenhead garage .

It does look rather odd, considering that it has been repainted into the revised livery. You must remember that the fitting of LED displays takes time, so if a depot requested a short turnaround of the vehicle there probably wasn't enough time to fit them.
I also noted 7660 here last week, it turns out it was a driving school bus as nothing else was available.
7660 has been at speke anumber of times this week doing retests for currenr drivers i believe
