The ones from southport seem to be getting done but its mainly the older livery thats trying to be phased out the quickest.

2691 was broken down at the Concourse with a fleet support vehicle in attendance.

That’s a new one - just had the driver of 2900 scream at me because I had a McDonalds bag in my hand, that I literally said I wouldn’t eat on the bus, then he decides to argue with me because apparently coronavirus is the reason you are not allowed on with food like that etc, and says because I can’t eat in McDonalds, and places like that, I’m not allowed to even board the bus. Was only trying to get home so I could eat it THERE.

There are signs up on busses saying no hot food allowed. Plus it usually stinks the bus out

It states on Arriva’s website that any food that creates an offence or hazard is not allowed on the bus. Hot or cold. Plus it does stink the bus out.

In my opinion it depends on the driver you may have. I was on the 18 yesterday afternoon and a schoolgirl boarded with food and a milkshake, driver didn't say a thing, maybe he wasn't even glancing at the CCTV when stationary, as it quite obviously was a Gemini 3.
Though to me it seems that sometimes you will encounter drivers that seem to abide by company policy. There was an article in the ECHO around 2018 where a driver from St. Helens refused to allow a passenger to be on his bus, as the passenger had a Costa Coffee in their hand, though the passenger claimed that in the past he had seen other passengers with drinks and never had a problem with drinking a coffee on the bus in the past.
What does ring my bell however is the lack of signage for the whole food/drink rule, I've only seen the notifications for no food/drink (might've also been 'Please take your rubbish with you') only on the Pulsar fleet at Bootle and Green Lane, not sure if Bootle's CX58/MX09 batch of Enviro400's have them either.

Think there has to be a lid on a hot drink and hot food must be covered up when boarding. Obviously we can't always control what happens after they've boarded.

Funny thing is, I didn’t even have a drink! Just a bag with some food in

Should be alright bringing on a light bite, but if it’s a full fledged meal then I’d say that’s taking the mick
