Just seen the new 16/16A/17 Moreton-Eastham Rake timetable & tomorrow will be the last chance to get the Arriva operated journeys, as all journeys including Saturdays will be operated by Stagecoach from Monday.

Probably a mix to be honest. The 68 plates are not yet taxed etc but they are being moved around the yard whilst engineering get them ready (ie the silver wheel hubs have to come off and the wheel nut markers added, destinations programmed, seating capacity sign updated, radios disconnected. 2 of them are plain silver so also need to have Click branding applied.

At the moment the plan is for the driver to take the bus out and return to Birkenhead once shift finishes so there won’t be any changeover for the first couple of weeks. After then driver changeovers will be taking place in Liverpool so the vehicles will remain in Liverpool for the full duration of Click operating hours.

There's a Hybrid on the 83A today. The front screen was in the small version but the back one had "83A Birkenhead" full size. Does anyone know why they're using half size on the front?
