Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
And in relation to the previous posts about Myllenniums (note, this is the correct spelling) they were new with the intention of operation on the 437 (though some say that is not true). When new, one was taken through the Birkenhead tunnel for evaluation and unfortunately, it fish tailed a car. Back to the drawing board... Then it was decided they were for the 410 to replace older buses. When Arriva took over MTL the Cadets were for Speke and the Myllenniums Birkenhead, but following the tunnel incident they had to split them.

The Cadets were placed on the 3/A/B, now the 403, 413 and 423 but at the time were an inadequate replacement for the Atlantean.
