Possibly there to free up the Volvos for use on the reps with them having tachographs fitted? Don't quote me on it, but I think Green Lane has/had the only tachographed Pulsars (inclusive of those which moved to Wales in exchange for 07 plate examples).

Looks like 2226 has arrived back at Bootle and is parked in their car park along with 4 other darts. Meanwhile the seemingly sole DLA is parked as though it will be going out. 2226 has not been painted or anything like that.

That's 4097 (S277 JUA). I presume that it's remained in Bootle's fleet after the railway replacement services that Bootle were running around Liverpool have finished (unless they're still in operation) for the start of the school year next month as Bootle were operating the 781 during the last school year and may be operating it again this year (I haven't seen any VOSA cancellation for it), hence the need for an additional bus.

2265 was on the 350 today. 2268 was on the 52/52A, whilst two Enviro400s (4401 and an original Bootle example) were on the 345 (the Skelmersdale boards)...

with 4401 and 4400 have they refurbished the lower deck yet?

If you mean have they changed the cross river leather seats, well the answer to that is that they hadn't last time I rode them.

Noted 7663 on the 61 this morning, 7669 on the 345 this morning (think it was that way around!) and saw 7674 on the 345 this morning and also tonight still on the 345 so presume its been running strong all day!

Just to clarify, neither 4400 nor 4401 has had its leather seats removed. Both were on the 61 last Monday.

Nothing unusual about any of these, all quite normal.
