Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
According to the Merseytravel website , it looks like something has been dumping oil or diesel onto the roads of Wallasey , with the southbound carriageway of Gorsey lane closed to the Dock Road from the Mersey Tunnel Roundabout , also the road between Gorsey Lane and Poulton Bridge Roundabout being closed.

This may have sorted itself out by now , but would have caused some delay to the 410 .

Normally, one will see use on the 175 with the other as a the 'back up' in the yard. But, as with Laird St being rather short at the moment I suspect both will enter service with 819 & 886 still in use. However I am just speculating.

With Solos , being a bit more reliable than MPD's can see the spare being used on the 492/5 just and if needed then it can be swopped out at the earliest opportunity passing the depot .
