With regards to 4000 4001 and 4002 arriving at Southport is arrival dependent on something replacing them at Birkenhead ?

Will there be a dedicated service that these buses will be attached to and we will see if these vehicles are a bit more reliable than when at Birkenhead or will they also be a poison chalice for Southport .
Yup awating the Hybrids to arrive
Ok, not really relevant to the current Southport thread......but whilst driving from Bootle to Liverpool earlier this afternoon, a black Mini Cooper passed me carrying registration DEM777Y...which of course was one time Southport allocated Atlantean 1977!

Really? I tried to buy that registration number when 1977 was withdrawn, but wasn't succesful. Maybe someone managed to negotiate with Harpur's of Derby who (as far as I know) bought her.
Apparently, Southport garage took their buses off the road early last night due to the road conditions:
