The rest of the VLWs that are leaving are 51-reg IIRC the ones down to leave the North West are 4200-6/8/9 and 4215 RE: Arriva North West - Bootle Depot - T42 PVM - 19/04/2017 07:47 2727 has just been down Sir Thomas Street out of service RE: Arriva North West - Bootle Depot - T42 PVM - 19/04/2017 11:31 DLP 4181 has failed on the drop off Point in Queen Square while operating a 52/52A RE: Arriva North West - Bootle Depot - FC Pictures - 20/04/2017 12:12 (19/04/2017 11:31)T42 PVM Wrote: DLP 4181 has failed on the drop off Point in Queen Square while operating a 52/52A something very wrong with allocations when the 52 got new buses 2 years ago yet is being operated by junk like 4181 RE: Arriva North West - Bootle Depot - T42 PVM - 20/04/2017 12:15 Its Bootle and their *5 star* allocating for you, some days theres not a single Enviro on there RE: Arriva North West - Bootle Depot - FC Pictures - 20/04/2017 12:16 (20/04/2017 12:15)T42 PVM Wrote: Its Bootle and their *5 star* allocating for you, some days theres not a single Enviro on there it seems to be anything on the 52, mainly Pulsars but all the ex London junk too,and just and odd Enviro400 RE: Arriva North West - Bootle Depot - childwallblues - 20/04/2017 15:56 I would dispute the term junk for these ex London buses. I travelled on 4203 on the 437 on Tuesday and I thought it was excellent. It is all ones taste.

Just because 4203 is good does not mean 4181 is good, some Buses are better than others RE: Arriva North West - Bootle Depot - SK15 GZG - 20/04/2017 16:47 (20/04/2017 16:28)T42 PVM Wrote: Just because 4203 is good does not mean 4181 is good, some Buses are better than others Completely agreed. The Myllenniums at Green Lane were all the same age but were far from the same. As much as I liked 2474 (it was a great bus at one point but it isn't as good these days) in the months before it left the Green Lane fleet it was overshadowed by 2467 and 2471 - the duo which Green Lane have retained as back up buses The ex London buses do a job - I wouldn't go as far to say that they're outright "junk" but there are other buses in the fleet which are clearly better |
