Palatine 2 R319 WVR (3319) was also on there this morning (credit to a source on Facebook).

Bootle's 4090 and pool bus 3313 were also off to Creamfields.

Nice to see Interurban 4065 (T305 FGN) DB250/ALX400 decker is back OTR.

She was dumped in the old Liverline yard in the 'scrap corner' for at least four months with her battery flap left hanging open.
I honestly thought she was a goner and PVS were going to drag her away.
Seems the St Helens boys have got her working again.Smile

I had Plaxton Pointer 2 X232 ANC (2232) on the 52 this evening.

I've seen three Enviro400s on the 52/52A today - two of which featured all-over advertisements for Vodafone. One was MX09 LXE (4423); I think that the other one was MX09 LXG (4425), but I can't confirm that. The other old-liveried example that I seen was MX09 LXL (4429). Also, a new-liveried DAF/ALX400 is out on the 53A. I'm guessing that these allocations are as a result of the Matthew Street Festival. Well done Bootle!

Enviros always come out for the Matthew street festival mate, some extra DLAS may be missing today due to Creamfields being cancelled and needing extra buses to get people home safely due to flooding.

Seems that the 52/A having darts on is becoming a common occurrence, I have just seen 2323 operating the 52A leaving Bootle Strand.

Bootle had the unusual thing of 2924 being on the 61 this afternoon, this is rare for a weekday afternoon.

4425 does indeed have the same all-over advertisement as 4423. (Credit to a source on Facebook.)

That makes THREE Enviro400s with bodywraps then; 4423 and 4425 with Vodafone and 4432 with Hope University.

Had 7662 on the 61 on my way home, I'm sure that I have said this before about this but what a heap, it also refused to move out of Bootle bus station for a minute, driver had to switch on and off before it would move otherwise it have blocked the exit. The sooner these marshall heaps disappear the better.

Today, the 53 had Enviro400 MX09 LXS (4434) on it and the 53A had DAF/ALX400s T302 FGN (4062) and T303 FGN (4063) on it.
