Has anyone noticed 4119 recently? I am sure it has been re-engined and fitted with adblue
4119 does have new rear fan holes in the bonnet lid. And a RED diesel cover.
Thought it was relevant also. Confirming it WILL be Enviro400 deckers due here in July for one of Merseysides busiest services, routes 86/A.
They will be fitted with free wifi. And hopefully the talking bus system. It would work well! http://www.arriva.co.uk/media_centre/pre...sc_lang=en
Virtually everything on Speke's city centre routes was double decked today, with only one Commander seen on the 80A amongst the DB300s and B7TLs. None of the VLWs were seen, not surprisingly.

Most routes had a mixture of types, including 4128 rolling back the years on the route it was formerly branded for, the 82. The 79 had 4110 and 4114, the 78 had 4108 and the 500 had 4113. There were a few more B7TLs on the 86/86A and 80/80A but the DB300s dominated. Well done to Speke for good allocating today.

One of the VLWs was on the 75.

4209 was out and about so that may have been the one on the 75
Are 4209/4211 out today? ta
One is out on 81s but unsure which one.
Thanks mate its 4209 along with 4210/4212-13
2471 was refusing to move at the bottom of Oriel Road just now, engine running but simply wouldn't go, I was behind it on 4129 which the driver said also had an issue which probably made it late as went straight out at Bootle Strand, incidently 2471 had passed 4129 along the way. So fun on 81's this morning.
