Yes, I photographed it in St. Helens, Corporation Street, just before it went to Liverpool - might have had a ride if I had realised in time what it was going to do.

4900/05 also seen in St. Helens town centre today (12 May), but neither was in passenger service.

Did it actually do that or tracking error/machine not changed, as these should only be on 10/10A as owned by Merseytravel not Arriva

While it was tracking on the 10A it was not actually in service & used as a photo op in Prescot

Anyone know what the situation with the Hydrogen 400s? Only did a trip each last week and not been out for almost a week. Still no sign of the GM vehicles either.

All off the road, 2 went on low loaders persumeably back to ADLmin Falkirk. There riddled with faults so don't expect to see them in service any time soon.

Oh, great. Our new trains aren't fit for purpose and our new buses apparently aren't either.

How much taxpayer money was spent on buying them? What a joke.
