Many thanks

7922 (YJ60 GGO) isn't in service here, as far as I know.

Was YJ60GGO ever here?? Can't find any pics on Flickr of it in Merseyside, and when searching for Arriva 7922, pics of the Wright Streetdeck SL15ZGP appear (including a few of my own), seems that was 7922, but didn't display the number to my knowledge...….

Cheers!

YJ60.GGO didn't enter service as there was a fault with its destinations. It left not long after arriving af Bootle and didn't return.

Found out this afternoon from 8th April, services 52, 52A, 54, 54A, 55, 56, 58 and 58A will start from Queen Square instead of Sir Thomas Street. This is due to their normal stops being suspended as part of the ongoing works on Victoria Street

2507 is now in the new livery and has been re-trimmed with E-leather seating.

The Welsh Commanders are excellent buses and, as this bus is almost 14 years old already, this is further proof that Arriva is now committed to extending the life of its fleet and that there won't be an influx of new buses anytime soon. I look forward to seeing more of this batch being refurbished.

That will be fun. These routes were moved from QS several years ago as the area was permanently gridlocked and the situation has hardly improved since.

RE: Arriva North West - Bootle Depot
I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes a perminant move once Lime Street ‘improvement’ works take place either . On that topic Stands 1-3 will also virtually be empty due to services likely to call at Liverpool One instead so potentially even the Cross River routes could be moved back into Queen Square also.
