RE: Arriva North West - Speke Depot
Both 3313 and 3332 were on the 86/86A today, allocated such that they worked two Airport-bound 86A journeys in a row during evening rush hour. Poor really - the 86 and 82 should never ever see step-entrance buses now that they are QBPs. Considering there were at least 6 deckers on the 80/80A - 4117, 4119, 4127, 4447, 4452 and another identified Gemini - this seems especially strange. I'm of the opinion that the Olympians on the 76 or other less high-profile routes is acceptable if needs must because there is no stipulation that modern, accessible buses should be used on these routes.

Elsewhere, 2582 and an unidentified Myllennium found their way onto the 699 for the afternoon peak journeys. The Bendis are now making appearances on the route in the city centre so they can presumably also be used on 699 lates from now on.
