True it was, but still all regions involved get something out of the diversion of Enviro400s to the North West - we get more very needed capacity, whilst other regions get reasonably new vehicles.
What is 2941?.

2941 is a VDL SB200CS allocated to Bootle depot
To be honest can not really complain about the vehicles disappearing to go to another part of the Arriva empire , the Merseyside operations have seen a big improvement over the last five years .

I think Arriva's investment is because there looks to be a change in transport policy in the next couple of years whether the Consevatives or Labour get in power in May , whereas Stagecoach are not investing as heavily because there don't think the policy is workable .

Was 2941 just onloan for that day or is it now a LS bus
sorry guys I meant 2641 of course,many apologies
Volvo B7TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini 4201 out on the 432/433/437 this morning.
Not sure how unusual this is but 4001 was on Cross Rivers today - didn't see what route unfortunately
Not unusual as such but usually on the 464 if its on cross river services .

This batch of vehicles 4000/1/2 had been earmarked at one point for shipping out but never seem to make it .
I've noticed over the past few weeks that quite a lot of LS' buses have not had their side or rear displays working. I first noticed it on older vehicles but I've seen a couple of hybrids like this lately too. Any particular reason for this?
