It will have been part of the transfer of 17 buses today to Green Lane that were temp at Birkenhead. May also have been out driver familiarisation.
The final 4 of the batch of 24 will transfer tomorrow.
Green lane was looking a bit full tonight as the buses they will replace haven’t yet moved out!!
Cadet 2501 was transferred from Green Lane to Birkenhead today. Will be scrapped at the end of the month.
2545 has turned up here, sitting on it on 27. Moves well doesn't it, with few rattles

I believe that at least one StreetDeck has been sent across the Pennines for evaluation. How long it will stay there and whether it will run in service I have no idea. A common complaint about these StreetDecks is that they have four-cylinder engines and consequently are under powered so it should be interesting to see how they cope on hilly and demanding terrain.

Saw this last night by James Street on the 27, had seemingly broke down just after turning onto The Strand though. Glad it was a quick fix.
