However, doubt this is bad planning, possibily more a case that arriva timed the 414 to be in front of the impera 39 which was still running when it was registered.
I would have extended the short Liscard 413s to New Brighton as 414, with 403,413,414 operating 10 minutes over the common sections, 414 would have been Woodside-New Brighton, those old enough to remember mirroring most of the old 35 route.

The short 413 is probably time wise , the same as the 414 time wise , extending would to New Brighton would probably require another vehicle on that route , which would probably effect profitability .

What have the loadings been like so far on the 414

Not many passengers on the New Brighton to Liscard section as of yet, but from Liscard onwards to Arrowe Park Hospital there seem to be good loads going towards Arrowe Park at least. It'll probably take a few weeks for people to get used to the service, but I suppose it'll save people changing in Liscard if they need to go to New Brighton, not that they couldn't already use Avon Buses' 10/10A or 11 services to do that.

Most bus operators steam clean their buses on a regular basis so not necessarily an MOT.
I believe those 4 Dennis Darts have been parked in the corner for some time now, also sure they where identified further back in the thread.

Aren't the darts T-PNB's, it was further back in the thread but I have no desire to look, have a look back Andy if you really want to know.
