2345 on 418/9s today, a nice change compared to all those cadets.

Sister-bus MX59 AAF (3001) was also on the 432/433/437:

I don't think that it's "very rare" to see a Pulsar 2 on the 432/433/437 - not even on a Sunday when Merseyrail replacement services aren't operating!

Also, Enviro400 CX58 GAO (4413) was among that group of buses:

It was interesting to see Pulsar 2s MX12 KWS (3124) and MX12 KWG (3134) in Liverpool on Sunday - on the 423 and the 487 respectively:

In the past 30 minutes i have seen 2 Enviro400s pass my road,Wallasey,King Street will they be on the 423 as it is a evening route thanks i didnt catch the fleet numbers


RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - R879 HRF - 05/10/2012 19:33

Enviro 400s often make it out onto 423s so quite likely

2345 was on the 409 today.....seem to see it a lot when I'm out with the camera, 2344 seems to still be eluding me though!


RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - MX12 KWB - 05/10/2012 21:05

2345 is a shed 2344 is better


RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - Palatine II - 05/10/2012 23:04

Some Enviro's to go to Wales in trade the for the 07 reg Pulsars. A spare bus will be braught in, incase of 886 breaking down.


RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - wirralbus - 06/10/2012 00:05

The 174/5 needs just one vehicle , if the depot is going to have a spare then surely its going to have to be used on a route when not used and so will probably go onto the 409.


RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - R879 HRF - 06/10/2012 08:07

Not necessarily wirralbus, they may just keep it in purley as a spare because if its out on a 4route and 886 fails on a 174, its defeating the object as having it as a spare! I don't think they'd use it on anything else simply because of its size.

Although if it where to go out on another route, it would make sense to put it on the quietest board! - Would be an ideal bus for 117s on Saturdays!
