Any sightings in service so far? Hopefully it will be used on ex Ribble services such as the 53.

Has been mentioned in the Paint & Body shop thread. Seen it at the Stagecoach open day at Morecambe on Saturday.

Why don't you just stand around Bootle Strand bus station as Stanley Road is closed at the front and all buses are going that way. Only way to miss them is if on 56 or more unlikely 310 or 345.

That is my plan if I dont see any beforehand

This photo of an Enviro 400-MMC on route 62 has a remark that they often work route 62 instead of route 55. Have you noticed that yourselves? I may want to ride route 62 when I come to Liverpool in July.

They were intended for the 55, but they fell out of favour due to them taking longer at the bus stop (the door has to be completely shut before the driver can restart). They can be found on any Arriva route operated from Bootle depot such as the 62, but because there's only 5 of them, it's pot luck as to where they turn up
