About time too I'd say, they are starting to look a little tired. I just hope they're painted a bit better than the Enviro200's at Southport.

Im afraid they look just as bad as the southport enviro 200 on the front end as theres a pic on facebook of one thats been done.

Nice update as ever MM, thanks. The three Speke gems could be having a checkover before they go off on loan to Winsford perhaps as it has been mentioned on that thread that Speke are loaning 3 buses to them.

Thanks mpte1955 thats why they could be there then.

So 11 Enviro 400s - I suspect the rest will probably start arriving over the next few days as I presume Alexander Dennis factory has been on shutdown over the holidays.


RE: Arriva St Helens Paint Shop & Repair Centre - motormayhem1 - 03/01/2015 00:28

I think they will most probs get 1 each day as theres 15 to come then no doubt they will wanna do a promotion launch with them in the town centre.

Presumably a fault deemed beyond economic repair. Not a great loss though, it has to be said.

2418 is of course on an X plate anyway and we are now seeing those get withdrawn.
