Im going to liverpool as well tomorrow and its very rare that i go so im hoping for the best
The conditions inside the depot itself however arnt brilliant - very snowy around the edges and the back half of the yard was pretty much a lake on friday night.
A few hybrids on the pits last night being branded up.
Notice up in the depot, hybrids are due out tomorrow but only enough to cover the 437/432/433s - the proper launch is postponed until the rest of the hybrids actually arrive.
R557 ABA is correct, the enviros will be working alongside the hybrids to cover the 407/71/72/64 seeing as the hybrids are only going on the 437/2/3 for now. Arriva dont want the odd one on other cross river routes, they want to wait until theyre all here so they can have the whole route covered with them rather than the odd one here and there.

4000 was on the 437 but has overheated in Bidston. Currently using the free WiFi too which was a doddle to connect to and use.
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - R879 HRF - 25/03/2013 16:33
Been told 3 of the hybrids have broken down/had issues today, which isnt too bad considering!
4001 and 4141 on the 419. Nice to see the 464 decker operated again too - 4205 along with an enviro and a DLAon them.

4000 ran back to the depot around 3.30pm. 4522 also was running back to LS o/s at about 12.30pm through Upton. Also noted 4503/5/10-12/16-19/21/23/25 in service. 4525 has no branding. Another seven, some branded, some not seen in LS.

I'm sure I'll get used to it, but for now, I find it rather disconcerting when the diesel cuts out on the hybrids. Otherwise not an unpleasant experience.

Just seen two Volvo B5LH's get towed into the depot by Recovery North West trucks.
