Hi folks its great to have the forum back again. Looked like 2465 Y465KNF had a blow out on the front drivers side tyre on monday night it was on the wrong side of speke road in hunts cross heading towards woolton village it was being attended to by a fitter from RNW who was in the process of changing the tyre when i walked past.
4116 is back in service following its repairs and refurbishment, looking resplendent on the 86 today. Its fleet numbers differ from the norm, left of centre on the rear and positioned alongside its left headlight on the front (like 4029). It didn't sound healthy however, having developed that awful roaring noise Southport's 4104 makes. A pity that it's lost its air blowing sound in favour of this racket. Front LEDs haven't been sorted either, but it certainly looks the part.
Beat me to it 507009 haha. Me and a Friend got off 6033 and had a talk to some of the drivers & customer service personnel 4116 was parked infront, looks immaculate but really does sound ill. Though I did hear it broke down on return to Speke, overall though the B7TLs are sounding a lot better even the odd standard liveried ones still sound in good nick
Apparently 4111 is back from refurbishment.
A volvo B7 ALX400 possibly 4115 broke down on mackets lane yesterday it was there for quite a long time apparently it was moved a couple of feet a couple of times before a fitter arrived in a van to sort it out dont know what was wrong with it?
2606 on the 86A while 4126 is rather pleasingly on the 78. :-)
not 100% sure if it was 4115 but there was a b7 with a very flat tyre just before Mackets Lane Shops. RNW Tyre Van was there attending to it. Later on That Day i saw the same Van on Woodend Ave with a Gemini again with a flat tyre
Did the builders at Speke leave a few nails on the floor? Seriously though thats the third one posted recently that's had a flat tyre, something some were is either just not right or damn unlucky.
twice in one day Ste is unlucky for Arriva anyway
4111 looked impressive on the 699 today , There is a nice new advert on one of the B7TL's , featuring a company called GHD I think , some of the advert has led type lighting looked pretty nice however I couldn't ID the vehicle at the time. Don't if anyone else knows or Has seen of it!
