Why did the driver crash it?
Was he taken ill?

Was doing a little dive on Twitter recently and I believe I saw a post that said Luton finally received their new batch of Evoras, any idea on when Bootle will receive the old batch from Luton?

The driver was taken ill behind the wheel. No casualties reported.

Many thanks.
I hope he recovered quickly.

Are Bootle due any more vehicles bar the short Evoras? still quite a few over the age limit.

8 new 25 plate Evoras are due for Bootle. There's about 2 or 3 have arrived.

Is there a projected date for when the Evoras will enter service?

Driving past the depot yesterday I seen what looked to be a Metro branded Evora. Is this one of the new 25 plates or a transfer from Luton?

I was surprised to locate and ride an E400MMC (4744) on route 63 yesterday. I thought this was all single deck.

An incidental point of ignorance is that, while I knew about the 17 reg E400MMCs, I don't know when the 16 reg's came to Merseyside. I reckon they may have come from Leicester and replaced the oldest Enviro400s.

I reckon more likely a new one. The ones from Luton might not need repainting.
