Arriva North West - Green Lane Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Green Lane Depot
I assume the figure of 36 quoted on the side of the 10B Enviro400s is a mistake and they actually mean 37, as Bootle would be due 17 then which would be strange for a route only requiring 12 buses.

Just to say as well, it was a great day yesterday. Fantastic to see double deckers at Green Lane again and even better to meet up with a few other members of the forum. Hopefully this is just the start of a great 2015 in Liverpool bus-wise.

All eleven of the new buses were out, but were rotated a couple of times during the day. 4587 began in service but dropped out mid-morning and was temporarily replaced by a Pulsar (2954 if memory serves). Out of the four I rode, 4593 was the clear highlight as it was faultless throughout. The disappointment was 4590 which although as smooth and nippy as you would expect from a brand new bus, did have a noisy squeak coming from the lower deck. 4586 and 4594 were decent but not perfect.

The Victoria Street destination has been used on the 10B route for at least the last three weeks, although one or two still seem to show Dale Street from time to time.
