The spec list goes on with lots of things, all I know as they're not sparing money on them, finally bringing them up to 'silver service' standard.
They will be done to an even higher standard than Rhyls Geminis, and will feature some unusual features that dont currently feature on any of the North West vehicles. Hopefully therell be pictures and further details of these in a few weeks time.
I hear a rumour (so before anyone starts moaning it is just a rumour) that GL are getting some Speke B7's as, some Enviro's are going to Speke. At first the Enviro400's were heading to Green Lane.
ive a few pics but not very clear,but i will say when its a complete ovethaul i mean its a complete overhaul as all the seats,frames,hand rails etc etc as been removed,all windows removed, as a lot is getting done and work is eell and truly underway.

That was a rumour a long time ago as well, but I really don't know why Speke would want to get rid of the B7s! I'd personally say the Enviros are all going to Wales and Green Lane are now not getting deckers, but I guess all we can do is wait and see.
If anyone sees 2344 on their travels today, would you be able to post what it's working on here please!

Its sat in LS atm
Sure its on 403/413 may be seeing things
It seems like there's an awful lot of resource being put into refurbing 4 year old buses -way beyond what you'd expect of an overhaul or even a P&P at this age - am I missing something. Basically these buses look pretty good still before anything is done to them.
Will these Enviros leave before there replacement double deckers arrive .
