There's a hybrid on the 464 today. Does anyone have a list of which buses in the batch have now entered service?

post so other can be seen..
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - R879 HRF - 05/04/2013 12:26
couple of DLAs on 410s today, noted 4099 on them and one in old livery, presumably 4026.

Thought I was losing my mind the other day when I got 4521 through the Kingsway tunnel to Gorsey Lane. As I got off, I spotted another Hybrid heading back towards the tunnel, but IT TOO was fleeted as 4521!
Bizarre! Two buses with the same fleetnumber!
Methinks the second one is THE REAL 4521....
4521 (or is it?)....

I really do not understand why the lower deck capacity is so low. Where the wheelchair bay is, you could easily fit at least two tip-up seats. Also, on the offside, the first two rows of seats are only single seats. Why? On Speke's Geminis, there is only the one single seat.
These hybrids can easily fit at least three more seats on the lower deck.

MX13 AEB is the real 4521 i think, as it has 4521 on the ticket i purchased on it last night! It seems most of them still havnt been renumbered
Also noticed 4513 (disguised as 4512) MX13 AEP has no front volvo badge under the windscreen, and looking back through my pictures of it didnt have one on the first day, and upon closer inspection of the body it hasnt had one thats stolen, it appears they just forgot to put it on!

They have now started to slowly put the correct fleet numbers on. I got a photo of MX13 AEP today displaying 4513.

Ahh thanks for that, presume they want them all numbered up properly for sundays launch
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - MX12 KWB - 07/04/2013 12:36
Hey guys im seeing quite a few Enviro400s today think 2 are on 423 and 2 on 411 i think i could be wrong
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - MTL0201 - 07/04/2013 12:49
423 looks that it's fully operated by deckers today, always seen the odd decker allocated, but only events like Mathew Street Festival, & or some Holidays like Boxing Day/New Years Day have had full decker allocation on the 423.
