Didn't know that the MPD had been there, presume not for service, no doubt that this other dart isn't either. That is unless of course they require cover for 2519 which broke down with issues last week. Unless they have fixed it of course.

The MPD was definitely not for service as it'd been sold for scrap according to the Arriva North West Facebook page. This Dart that's currently in Bootle appears to have parts missing, like the MPD did. I presume that they're having a few parts taken off them for Bootle's set of Darts before their final journeys, however I'm not 100% how that'd work if they've already been sold for scrap (whether they've been sold as an entire unit or just as a shell). Was shown a photo of 2228 lately from a forum member which appears to have a windscreen out of an ex-Chester Dart as it has the "C" sticker on it.

Didn't think they would be for service, I will check 2228 out if I get a chance later on.
3018 is on 52As tonight! Seems odd saying that it looked strange to see!
Today 2232 (X232 ANC) made it onto the 52/52A!
With credit to Arriva's Facebook Page its 2358 thats in Bootle Depot
2418 or 2419 spotted last night on the 60. 2633 here from Speke too.
Must be 2419 as 2418 is at the rear of St Helens Depot Withdrawn
