RE: Arriva North West - Speke Depot
I believe there are only two spares as the 86/86A requires 17 buses. If three were off route today, presumably there was a Gemini or B7 amongst today's 86 allocation.

Any word on fitting the Enviro400s with Wi-Fi stickers yet? It seems odd not to advertise it, but then again, I think the EcoCitys and B5Ls entered service with no Wi-Fi stickers as well.

Some display 86A LIVERPOOL AIRPORT still whilst some are showing the newer version 86A Liverpool Airport with a plane - you would have thought all being the same batch and launch date they would have been programmed the same surely?

They were programmed like that just before the 'investors launch at LJLA.
(Not that any of them will use the bus)

4558 is on the 82 today.

A few of the Enviro400s now have wi-fi stickers on the sides and rear.

Good, glad they're advertising the Wi-Fi. The new 86A destination layout with the aeroplane is a nice improvement, too, but the via points are still missed.

Wifi to be fitted on out 42 series of Geminis that'll be used on the 699.

Stickers have started to be fitted with 4564 being one.

All Airport route destinations include the Image. Buses are all yet to be programmed though.

More deckers than usual out this Sunday, with full allocations on the 75, 76, 79, 80A, 82 and 86A. It was mainly Geminis, although the 86A was entirely Enviro400 and at least two Enviro400s were on the 82. The 78 was a mixed allocation of Geminis and Commanders, while the 500 was entirely single decked.

A much better use of the larger buses today, as they are simply wasted on the Sunday 500.

Most of buses on the airport routes had the new layout with the aeroplane, and the balance of Enviro400s seen today had received the green Wi-Fi stickers.
