Chris if you walk to the back fence and turn right you will find some withdrawn or buses and some awaiting maintenance.
The building on your left next to the brake tester is the bodyshop and deap maintenance ramps.
Right round the back is withdrawn veichles near the skips.
The workshop heading down towards the bus wash is the paintshop which as 2 seperate parts as one as 5 bays and the 2 doors next to them are a separate paint room.

You was born to do this probably, good bit of info there. I’m sure mm will be back from skiving before you know it.

What sort of state was the B10’s in? It can’t be much longer till they’re on the phone to PVS to get rid.
Also I asked elsewhere sometime ago what happened with 4820. The response stated the obvious or they were being sarcastic as ‘it’s had a crash’ had been stated in the header. Does anybody know where, when or how it happened. On one of Speke’s routes or out of service in Liverpool or Speke I’m sure. I’d hazard a guess that nobody was injured as I haven’t seen any reports on the Echo of ‘double decker bus crash.’

Hey redpanda ive earned my right to skive for a bit lol after working 6/7 days a week and getting sent all round the northwest to different depots to work out off but maybe called into work to do 2 days next week inbetween my holidays.
4820 looks worse than it actually is as looks like its gone in the back of something but not 100% sure as its the centre of the front end thats damaged.

As for the b10's some are in a really sorry state. 2730 looks untouched as its only been recently withdrawn.
