RE: Merseyrail Rail Replacement Buses
Noted the following on the Formby - Southport rail replacements today: 4000, 4001, 4027, 4030, 4076, 4097, 4175, 4180, 4181, 4208, 4210, 4212, 4213, 4214.

Had a ride on two. 4076, one of my last required DLAs which was on fine form and very smooth riding indeed, then 4210, which wasn't too bad but rode a little roughly and was sluggish throughout the run. That said, at least the refurbishment job on these is a lot better than the Birkenhead VLWs with seat backs and panel work properly repainted. It wasn't making that shocking din that most of the 4200-05 batch does as well, which always helps.
