Is there any update on whether one of Bootle's Enviro400's is going into one of the Ribble heritage liveries as rumoured for this year's centenary??

Thanks!
4102 is now here.
Isn't there going to be a second one, hopefully Bootle can get shut of that bin 4170, really don't like those things in any way.

Yes two B7TLs are expected - Birkenhead also have two

I'd imagine the two ALX400s will replace 4170 and 4212 (if it's still here)

Didn't even know 4212 was here, presumably schools only

It's gone now. It didn't see much service in its final months here. I suspect it still needs replacing on paper as a rail bus.

We only do one school service (781, Seaforth-Chesterfield High), which then goes onto a 53.

Could the 2nd ALX400 be 4100 or 4104 if Winsford are getting rid of them?
Where have they both gone ? As a guess both gone to Winsford to join the rest of the ex London batch
Sure 4212 is not in use, 4170's time is most likely numbered
Not sure it’s been mentioned on here yet, which I’m surprised at, Enviro 4411 is now in NBC Ribble red complete with NBC and MPTE logos.

Any sightings in service so far? Hopefully it will be used on ex Ribble services such as the 53.
