Is this broadly correct or are there many variations in practice? I'd say its right though they have B10s and I'm not sure what they do. I caught an Enviro 200 in Formby doing a 44 and passed a B10 on the 44. B10s could just do anything and everything but not 375/385. |

The B10's will appear on locals but primarily they appear on 300's more than anything else |

RE: Arriva North West - Southport Depot
Thank you to those of you who clarified vehicles at Southport and their routes. I had forgotten that they had some Renowns, as I still associated these with St Helens! I have the feeling that the VLWs are mainly just for school and peak-hour work. I admit that I haven't been there since 2006 but am looking to make amends this month. I had held back for a while in the hope that route 47 would be upgraded to MAX spec, but with the "ordinary" refurb to some Pulsars, this does not seem likely any time soon. |
