Is Birkenhead losing this vehicle ?

I was told all three were going into the Southport depot!

Well things do change, lets wait and see if this one remains at Bootle. Bootle appear to have no DLA's left although I did see 4097 heading towards Bootle on Friday afternoon on Queens Drive, not in service.

Lets see if it can stay on the road more than when it was at Birkenhead .

Seems only Speke could keep them on the road for any length of time .

Bootle used 4429, 4430 and 4432 on what appeared a rather superfluous 12 buses per hour rail replacement through Liverpool city centre today. Running virtually empty all day from my observations. 4000 was also working these - are we to assume this is a permanent Bootle transfer as I didn't see any other Birkenhead buses on this work?

It maybe 12 buses an hour but how many buses are used in the circuit to maintain that timetable.

There was A Dart on it around 11/12ish as well Pointer Dart

You sure? I was on the route for about 1 hour between that time, And saw 4429, 4430, 4432

Well at 1050 it was still out on it with 4000, 4430 & 4429 so I presume 4432 replaced it

Advertising Enviros 4423 and 4432 were doing the rail replacement honours this evening.
