It was 4210! Angel
I thought 4210 might have been on 500s as I saw it parked up at John Lennon Airport at 16:00 with Not in Service on the front, one of the other buses of course was the plain white Pulsar
Haven't been on 4210 for a little while, wonder if it's destination board cover upstairs is still half hanging off.
Hello all

Do we know how long it will be until the Enviro400s start arriving at Speke?

Sounds like a recipe for chaos , the summer timetables should be able to cover what speke has available till the end of August then hopefully something should be happening.

Speke could be receiving commanders though such as the 25** batch currently at Bolton, coincidentally luggage racked ready for use on the 80A and 81A
Well of course 81/81A interwork with 81 going via Airport on a Sunday so thy would fit in nicely. As for mylleniums to Gl, well that would see off the ALX300's and the couple of V plated darts that they have.

As well as the X reg plaxtons which would be available for another depot with a high amount of them such as St Helens or Chester for example
