It's clearly just a mix-up somewhere. I assume they will renumber the delivered B5s by adding one to the fleet number of each. Not a particularly significant problem really.
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - CX54 DKD - 06/02/2013 18:20
It wouldn't even surprise me if, for the sake of renumbering just a single vehicle, they just remove the number from the current 4491 and stick it on to the end of the batch that comes through. After all, if the latest deliveries were anything to by, there's no correlation between registration and fleet number any longer anyway.
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - R879 HRF - 06/02/2013 20:26
The mixup could be caused by something as simple as a communication error or a misprint on a list. These things happen. As 507009 said, its easy enough to renumber them, or like CX54 said, they can just renumber 4491 as the last of the batch.

"4491" in Laird Street this afternoon, note the the Arriva North West legal lettering which would point to being for Bolton!

Are the other new hybrids numbered in that style too, the lighter '4491' on the light coloured front and darker '4491' on the dark coloured side, surely it would be better to have them the other way round. Just a thought that if the others aren't like that then maybe again it highlights the mistake in giving it a number already in use.

It's the only one I've seen close-ish up but would expect the others to be the same.....
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - Jack - 07/02/2013 17:16
The one on the side is okay but the one on the front is difficult to see, or is that just me!

Yellow on bright green doesn't make for easy identification!

Perhaps 4493 is heading Bolton way then as it was reported at St Helens depot yesterday.....
