Had both deckers on the 10 today, 4214 out and 4200 home, not keen on 4200 but you can tell that one was refurbished earlier and is a bit rougher, used to 4214 with it being at Bootle and that is certainly better. Different depot now but had 4207 on 81 as well, 4214 has been refurbished to a better standard with the cream/white poles and is probably the best ride of the 3.

I had both yesterday and would agree with this. 4214 was definitely a better ride and for obvious reasons tidier than 4200. However, I would say that Bootle's other VLW, 4208, is the worst of the type I have ridden at any depot.
Had both deckers on the 10's today 4200 a flyer and was full
Caught 4214 into Liverpool earlier & incidentally on the way back. I thought it was a good ride, a lot better than some Pulsars I've travelled on.
I had a delightful ride on 2238 today. For someone who isn't a Dart fan I was hugely impressed. This bus was very fast, warm and didn't rattle much. The driver was also an asset to Arriva. He smiled and waved when I took a picture of his bus.
2710 was on the 10 earlier.

It has been out on the 10 since this morning. Nice to see bit of variety.
On a 360 recently and a £1: 70 Adult fare was issued, can anyone explain this when in LIverpool &
Wirral cheapest fare is £2:20
Possibly a different fare scale in Greater Manchester/Warrington depending on where the fare was issued.
