How many vehicles are required for the southport Flower Show Shuttle work ?


RE: Arriva North West - Southport Depot - H101GEV - 16/08/2012 07:44

2991 is a St Helens allocated Pulsar. Sounds like an interesting day for the 49.

Last year it was mainly Interurban-liveried Pulsars on the Flower Show shuttles IIRC, some of them from Green Lane. I would've thought the Olympians would be a wise choice for the service, especially if the numbers justify it.

what if these pulsars go onto normal service but the deckers go on the 49 thats a possible thing?

2921 CX58 FZB also here in service on 49's.

Yer just saw that and I've made a mistake it's 2992 not 2291 so the 49s are being run by 4 loan pulsars 7652 and my 7656

2921 is from Bootle so buses borrowed from at least three depots.

2294 has been parked up on Carr lane with no driver for at least two hours,also saw a flower show park n ride it was a 61 reg pulsar

Looks like buses are being drafted in from left right and center for the Flower Show, will be a very interesting few days indeed in Southport.


RE: Arriva North West - Southport Depot - CX54 DKD - 16/08/2012 15:14

They were drafted in from numerous locations last year too though so it's nothing new and only to be expected. Particularly, as the garages the vehicles come from are generally able to release them due to reduced summer PVRs.

Bolton got asked send a bus but they had to say no with loads of buses VOR, they only just keep the Volvo step deckers away as it is!
