From what I could see, everything is still attached and still looks in good condition from the outside.

4097, 4025(IIRC) and another two DLA's still in the depot NFS.

7635 is still NFS, parked at the back and 4002 is also still off the road.

Hybrid 4535 is also present in the depot.

Is the commander a transfer to birkenhead or is it just there for work to be done on it?

I would think it is here for work to be done on it.

Noted an A2B Optare Solo leaving LS at around 1130 this morning. Also noted an UID VLW on 418s and 4001 appears to be on 403/13.

That's just the exterior, not sure on what underneath is like and the engine. Must be something major otherwise it would be out and about.

Thanks for this N304, 4097 is parked on it's own, 4025 and another one in the new livery parked together by the steam clean, and then the other new liveried one next to 7635.
One will be 4157 the other possibly 4038.

If it was an un-branded white wright bodied bus, its most likely VDL/Wrightbus Pulsar 2 demonstrator which has been reported as on demonstration with Impera, reg YJ59 AZA.
