Looked and sounded like thats where 4100 should be.
2719 and 2720 have turned up at Southport and were both seen on the 300 yesterday.
2719 looking extremely scruffy inside and out.

Saw either 4102 or 4106 on a school duty in Maghull on Friday afternoon. Are these two staying at Southport or will they eventually join the rest at Winsford?
4100 & 4107 were still at Southport last week as well.

It wouldn't have been either of those as 4102 is still awaiting a new rear axle and 4106 left for the body shop on the 3rd.
4210 replaced 2720 on the 300 today, most-probably due to significant delays along the route at about midday (in Haskayne due to a delivery lorry tipping-over, I think).

Also, 4577 was on schools (692/722) this afternoon (credit to the Arriva Southport Facebook page).

Surely there's a better detail for 4577 than a school service. It'll get wrecked, I wonder what the powers that be will think about that Exclamation

With 4210 having to be sent out on the 300 in order to maintain service, 4577 was the only other available bus in the garage. Far from ideal, but better that than not send a bus at all.

4577 is on 47 today
2720 appeared on the 300 yesterday. Apparently this example and 2716 I think are here to replace the two ALX200 Darts
