Arriva North West - Bootle Depot

[M113 YKC]

RE: Arriva North West - Bootle Depot
Very unusually, 4418 was on the 55 (on a late board - last 55 off Liverpool!) this afternoon! The driver told me that the bus it'd replaced had blown an airbag at the back.

Also, I managed to have a ride on 2234 on the 56 this afternoon. It looked smart on the outside, however its interior was a bit of a mess and it still had the old moquette which was quite worn in some places. It performed nicely, although it was rattly around the cab area. I presume that it has 7659's engine as it definitely sounds like that and I'm 99% sure that 7659 was moved onto the pits and cannibalised when 7674 was withdrawn. Either way, nice to see it back on the road!
