RE: Arriva North West - Speke Depot
St helens body/paint shop goes through spits and spasms as like when they start a project when theres not much work on all of a sudden work starts coming in that needs doing because its already part of a service fleet that as to be returned so its home depots pvr is shortened for. to long so outside contractors fill in when buses from london need converting. but looking at 4207 which got done at bus and coach world for st helens depot it looks ok but that one came back with a side advert on but once 4206 comes on the road il compare the 2 as at the moment 4207 looks fine.

I thought 4182 was the last of the ones for Bolton? This was parked up there a few weeks ago.

4001 was on the 82 again, this one is a nice ride. The same can't be said for 2465 which, seemingly like all Myllenniums, is a horrible bus to ride. Time hasn't been kind to those buses at all, even the Marshall is a much more attractive riding proposition than those things.

4001 is to be used only on the 82. Reason unknown!
4182 needs a few bits doing before it's out in service give it this week. No doubt it'll be a regular on the 82!

Some of the Myllenniums aren't that bad. Definitely better than some of the Marshalls that Green Lane used to have. Hope to see 7652 on 80/A as I will get to ride it then

That 2465 has some real idle vibrations, I had it this morning on my way to work, as for the mylleniums they are a bit hit and miss. Some are quite good and don't give a bad ride, others like 2465 are not so good.
