I shouldn't think that another few hundred miles would make much difference as they must have clocked up well over a million. Perhaps they were using up the diesel.

Thank heavens for that, the Myllenniums are dreadful buses, says something when i prefer the Renowns even though they're same age.

All of 4201-5 are leaving but 4204 is staying for a bit longer because of its livery

4176 is due here from Speke but I don't know what other double deckers (if any) are expected here

It's the last week if you want to ride the Birkenhead Myllenniums before they're withdrawn.
