Repainted 2644 is now here, on the 52s today.

2235 still going today out on the 62 along with 4168 which was also on there yesterday as well.

Since the restart of the school term I've noticed that certain boards on the 63 are now double-deck operated. This morning about 8ish I saw a decker on the 63 heading towards Crosby with a standing load. As this is a 30-minute frequency, I do wonder what might happen if Bootle finds it a decker short for this service. Yes, I know, the kids get a detention for being late.

4181 and a new Enviro400 are on the 63 tonight, whilst 2910 is on the 52A.

2235 (X235 ANC) last seen on Tuesday running the 58 route.
Not sure if its been withdrawn yet, but time is surely running out for this ancient Dart (will be 15 years old on 17th Oct).

Meanwhile, has anybody seen 2226 (X226 ANC) lately?
Haven't seen it for a couple of weeks, seen here, last month, on 52 route (with its unusual cream-painted front panel)....

Lots of buses on Rails today. As I drove along Lime St this afternoon, there were 7 buses queueing, all Bootle's. IIRC these included 4181 & 4431, with Pulsar 2919 thrown in the mix

4200 is on the 52s today!

4170 (LF02 PKA) (ex-DLP86) was on the 52 yesterday (1st Oct). This is probably the only decent ex-London DB250/President decker that Bootle have got (its certainly not sluggish!)

Other news, Bootle's mid-life refresh of its 58-reg Pulsars has restarted.
2926 (CX58 FZH) now in Interurban livery with new seat cushions in 'blue chessboard' moquette.
2926 is on route 54 today.

2925 is back after its repaint.

There is a rumour going around bus drivers in Merseyside that Arriva are putting Hawthorne Road and Canning Road up for sale and Stagecoach are interested in it. Does anybody know anything of this?
