It would appear that all of the borrowed deckers have been returned to Speke. Does anyone know if this trial was a success or can we expect to see Pulsars on the 47 for the foreseeable future?

4682 was noted on 47 st lunchtime, though this is the only 46xx decker noted . 4575 was also seen on 47 today all the other 47's seen were Pulsars.

The trial coincided with the Open and the Flower show. It's difficult to see how the results of a trial over the two busiest times can be judged effectively. Surely the trial should have been at a time when the service can be judged on is own merits. Having said that, I think the 47 should be fully decker operated as it competes with the X2 and also gets busy once into the Liverpool region. It'll be interesting to see what happens from here.

You could only borrow the deckers from Speke when the 699 is nut running.

Looks like an arriva driver from southport as been shot in the head but it luckily skimmed it and not caused serious damage.
