Speaking of Mersey Ferries, I seen a convoy of 4 turning left out of the tunnel going up Scotland Road yesterday. Off the top of my head it was 4200/1/2/5. Not certain about the last 2 though!
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - P450 SWX - 05/07/2012 08:03
4201 was the one that the pulsar replaced on 410 yesterday
Can't wait for October for the 174/5 what a odd route for arriva to go for
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - P450 SWX - 05/07/2012 11:40
From October the 118/9, 218/9 and 174/5 will form a new low cost unit at LS
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - wirralbus - 05/07/2012 13:30
218/9 are just the morning merseytravel equivalent of the 418/9 , seems pointless putting them in a low cost unit if the 418/9 are not going into it .
I have heard of Low Cost units at LS before namely the 401 , but it only ended up with cadets being replaced by pulsars .
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - P450 SWX - 05/07/2012 14:09
From Saturday night there is no low cost unit until October as Chesters are back on main line

Low cost units though is like divide and conquer the only loser is the drivers in the longer term , but could be the way forward if Arriva wants to retain a modicum of merseytravel work in the near future .

LS will only be getting 10 new pulsars now,probably because they need less for the 2
when the new rubbish service starts
