Funnily enough I seen this behind the Yutong demonstrator on Sheil Road displaying the 26 route yesterday, the Yutong however turned left on to Prescot Road with 2467 continuing past the McDonalds going the opposite direction.. most probably on a test run

No sign of our final hybrid (4850) yet and there's also 4667 which is currently away on loan at Arriva Southern Counties too. All three of the Enviro400s which were on loan at Birkenhead (4651, 4664 and 4670) have been back for a short while though

St Helens bound 2674 was still here as of this afternoon but I'm unsure if 2672 and/or 2675 are still here as well

4850 is down to go to Speke depot not here.

Someone told me it was coming here but I guess it makes more sense it's going to Speke - with GL having 3 spares for the 14 and 18 (combined PVR 22) and SL two spares for the 79/79D (PVR 24)
I have 4837 on 26, wasnt expecting this to turn up.

Yeah it was meant for Green Lane but due to delivery delays etc 4800-4807 made up the PVR plus spares for the 14/18's which allowed a few more to arrive in time for the 79's launch last week.
Also 2674 and 2675 will move to SH when the BYD's arrive. The 25 Hybrids should of displaced 14 Pulsar's, 3 Commanders, 7 Myllenniums and an Enviro 400 from here.

I doubt the ex London stock will be at Speke for much longer with only 4850 due to arrive. DLPs 4177 and 4182 have already left

That makes sense now - thanks

I've got 2467-71/3/4, 2599/601/2, 2669-73, 2903-5, 2954-9 and 4412 as departures from here with only 2672 still to leave last time I checked. I was told the rest of the 58-reg (as well as 2674/5 as you've said) and 09-reg Pulsars will be next to go when the BYDs arrive soon so it looks like our oldest stock when the summer arrives will be the 59-reg Pulsars
2672 is now at St Helens.
2470 2473 and 2474 are stored at Runcorn.
Was told that 4835 has a machanical problem and has not been in service trying to sort it
out with Volvo under the warrantee
