2438 is a nice one, as is 2448. Not really liked any of the ex Speke ones so far, except one which I didnt note the fleet number of, may have been 2433/4

The dedicated bus is going to be Dart MPD 886 Y46 TDA. Lee, if you want to find out where it goes look it up on the Merseytravel website!

Heswall - Irby

Heswall - Lower Village

The Irby route does go down some rather tight roads in the Irby area , so something with a short wheelbase would be handy.

I'm sure somebody mentioned a while ago the contract does mention that a short wheel based bus is needed, could be interesting!

As to where will it go, it already does go! Currently operated by A2B and previously it was Eazibus IIRC.

An interurban pulsar on the 437's today...didnt catch its reg though...

I think Arriva getting this route was a major surprise , dont know when arriva last obtained a week day daytime merseytravel tender , it must be a fair while , forget the likes of the one off Saturday 117.

I'm on 3129 - 407. Imperia S364ONL is on the yard, as is a green Solo (GHA)

thanks for the information
