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

Indeed, with Rhyl examples entering service this month and Southport ones in September, I reckon the Speke ones will be around November.

Originally the Speke ones were planned to arrive before the southport ones otherwise when the standard timetable re-instates around September, the depot is going to be incredibly short where as Southport currently has it's deckers (even if they do spend most of their life on the 43/46 at times)

2507 (CX54 EPN) is on the 75 this morning
2508 on the 75 this morning.
Reported on the Southport thread that 4210 has transferred there with more to follow. Assuming that these will be 4209/11-13 will they be replaced?
With the loss of the bendi buses (8?) and Mylleniums (21) their replacements are the Tridents (19) and Wright Commanders (10).
Or were 4209-13 over the depot PVR?

Technically it's a loss of 10 bendybuses as the two that caught fire were never replaced by another vehicle too, However there was/is spares.
The two V reg Renowns will also be leaving the fleet too soon due to age.

I was in Bootle yesterday and the 81/81A was a real mixed bag. I saw 13 buses on the route 2452,2455,2459,2465,2466,2471,2581,4115,4209,4211,4213,4437 and 4470. Less than half were Mylleniums - has s bulk transfer to GL begun?

Incidentally off Speke topic I know but does 4214 ever get out? In 3 visits i have seen 4208 on the 60 or 61 but no sign of 4214.
