E400MMC 4693 now in full eurovision wrap

Are there any plans regarding 4117 please, considering now Arriva no longer operate school services.

I don't know, what I'm thinking is either withdrawal or maybe move it to Speke with the other remaining ALX400s for the 699

4117 gets used for route training duties at Bootle most of the time

My understanding was that 4117 and 4699 are the designated rail replacement buses at Bootle, as 4113 and 4114 currently are at Birkenhead. Presumably the school duty was just a useful place to use the depot's oldest bus and 4117 will remain at Bootle for a while longer.

4699 hasnt been in depot for a couple weeks not sure if its away for work

4117 is mostly used for route training when not on rails

4699 failed MOT due to issue with gears! Getting worked on as this is a dedicated Rail Bus and is very fast and smooth to drive! Seem to not go over 40mph which may be why gears recently failed.

4117 is also dedicated rail bus.

Yes I am aware of that regarding 4117 but its also used regually as the route training bus

Apparently 2668 is now here, I would guess this is a loan (as per bustimes.org)

2670 is also apparently here now in the reserve fleet (as per buslists.uk)

I think its a glitch as its also tracking on service 3 to Broughton
