You're quite right. Confirmed with credit to the Arriva Southport Facebook page that 2504/05/06 are all at Southport.
2504, 2505, 2506, 2662, 2922 and 2927 were all on 49s yesterday. 2923 was on the 42/44 with ex-Bootle 2266 and 7636. 2264 was on the 43/46 with 4064. 4083 was on the 41. The 27 was being operated by Southport's 61-plated Pulsar 2s.
2662 is on the 47!
The Southport Flower will always bring out something different from Arriva , be it alien buses from other depots that don't require them at this time of the year.
Four of the loan buses have returned to their home garages tonight. The rest will head back tomorrow.

Southport's two remaining Marshalls were both out today: 7636 on the 42/44 and the excellent 7654 on the PR2. New arrivals 2264 and 2266 were on the 42/44 and 49 respectively.

There was plenty of varierty on the 43/46 route today, including VLW 4213, Renown 2724 and ALX400s 4064, 4102 and 4107. More mundane allocations in the form of a Pulsar and X-HJA Dart completed the allocation. Also of interest was 4083 on 41 duty, while Enviro200 2141 made a rare appearance on the 47.
Spotted two DLAs heading down St Helens road past Edgehill university in Ormskirk they were heading towards the M58/Bickerstaffe direction presume they were from Southport was too far away to id them. Heading to Jackson street or pastures new perhaps?

They would have been 4064 and 4083 heading off to Yorkshire Tiger. Their new owners are MASS but they are being loaned to YT for a short while.
