Must be getting ready to go back on the road as the rail replacement starts at the end of this month.

Good god i was on an 89 yesterday from Liverpool Airport to Huyton Bus Station and im sure the roads on the Speke Estate where doing there best to rip the bus to shreds , the seat on the is double deckers was vibrating so bad , is it little wonder the buses do not last long on roads that where probably better in medieval times , only joking.

It’s been like that since I’ve been an enthusiast 4 years or so. I wouldn’t like to be a road user there.

The bus suspension gets badly damaged around the estate especially the pulsars as the springs snap pretty quick on them going through there.

This was one of your double deckers , havent had such a poor ride in ages , but it was not the buses fault once out of the confines of that estate the bus was reasonable .

How Arriva at Speke on there routes can keep there fleet so good on roads like that is a testament to there mechanical skills .
