4211 is a Speke Bus, 81A is run by Speke. Bootle have two VLW's 4200 & 4208.
Wythenshawe's 2937 was parked in the depot this afternoon.
4101 is still here, I thought it might left as hadn't seen it for about 10 days.

It was on the 345 this afternoon
4633 was on the 62 whilst 4401 was on the 54 this afternoon
4101 was on the 310 on Wednesday!
It would appear that Bootle will be taking over the 157/8 in April. Having just travelled on it I'd love to know what vehicles it will be using. In the past it used Dennis Darts but since they have all been withdrawn, the shortest vehicles it has are Pulsars. The current operator, Cumfybus, uses short-
wheelbase Solos that can just about squeeze through the parked vehicles on Ford Lane
