How many mylleniums did Birkenhead have originally for the 410 , before they was carted off to other depots ?

As far as I can remember laird street had 2451 - 2461 for the 410s.

At that time it wasn't uncommon to see deckers added onto the 410 to supplement the myllenium fleet or replacing 1 or 2 of them.

To me the myllenium buses have been the best vehicles on the 410 in terms of single deckers. I absolutely detest the vdl's.

Definitely not as reliable though, they had a habit of overheating the second it went marginally warm! And in some rain, having to put your hood up onboard isn't ideal either!

Provided not in slug mode, the pulsars arnt bad.

As much as I detest DAFs, its nice to see them back

Sounds like its either love or loathe the ELC Mylleniums .

It is, I've never met anybody who doesn't mind them, its either or!

Last time they where here it was very rare to see them on anything other than 410s, but this time around its anything and everything

Is there anything there excluded from route wise , in the past there was something to do with width I think ?

Can I just point out Myllennium is spelt as I've written.
