There is usually a decker or 2 on the 54 on Saturdays as they are late out in the morning out the depot and often whatever is left/just been fixed.
4103 was on a 60 duplicate at around 15:35 this afternoon as I spotted it by accident, it is tracking as Rhyl (ironically ex-Bootle) 2526 but I'm pretty confident this has been known about for a while now.

4434 was on the 61A when I saw it just after 16:00 when passing through West Derby Village, though my real question out of curiosity was the 61A service suspended from lockdown until Monday? (April 12th), as I can't recall seeing a bus with 61A destinations throughout the lockdown.
Due to the high volume of complaints about bus tracking posts the member concerned has been placed on moderation for a short period

I think the 61A did return briefly before Christmas when the 60/61 went straight back to every 12 minutes. But it's hard to remember what had been done things have changed that often!
Apparently 4102 is moving on to Southport
Has 4431 been undergoing maintenance recently? Yesterday I saw it heading down Queens Drive towards Bootle with headlamp covers missing and (presumably) being driven by an engineer on a test run but displaying 'Sorry, Not in Service'

It will probably have been for mot , I believe headlight covers are removed when they go for that.

That's correct. It's to allow easier access to the lights if any adjustment is required
