Also, Pulsar 2 MX59 AAY (3008) was unusually on the 407/471/472 - better than last Saturday's allocation of many DAF/Cadets...

Finally, DAF/ALX400 S288 JUA (4158) was on the 411 - not sure on whether this is unusual or not.

there's quite often a sxxxjua on the411 these days
I know Birkenhead Depot used to use deckers every now and again on 401 Liverpool-Chester and I was wondering whether since the recent changes have Arriva used a decker yet on their duties on 2
i not seen a decker on there since the start of this year sadly
I think the Arriva 2 is just going through the motions. I think on the Chester service the QBP has come out looking very skewed towards First. Im sure the QBP for the Chester services could have been done a bit better.

I know you can use each others tickets on whatever bus comes first but sadly some passengers still think that if they have an arriva ticket they can only use arriva and vice versa that will take a bit of time for them to understand differently.

With the pvr being half of what it was on the 401 would be rare now to see a decker on
the 2,the service is just a joke now
How long does this QBP agreement last or is it an open ended agreement ?
AFAIK any company can leave a QBP at any time so if the new buyers of Rock Ferry dont want the QBP theu just dont sign to agree.
a lot of people who used the X11 of a morning and everning are not happy i think the X11 could still run morning by Arriva afternoon by First
Whether a sale will happen with First , who ever it is would be silly to come out of such a lucrative agreement .
Increasingly common to see DAF DB250's out of a Sunday, today was no exception with 4141 on the 110/410's today.
