RE: Arriva North West - Speke Depot
I agree MPTE. I just think that, knowing how the media can hype up a story, it's something we should be mindful of!

With that in mind, probably best we keep away from discussion of this issue on the forum as none of us quite know either side of the story properly and it isn't 'bus enthusiasm' as such.

Light up, light up as if you have a choice,
Even if you cannot hear my voice.
I'll be right beside you dear.

4127 has an overall advertisement for Vodafone and most of the internal adverts are also for Vodafone. 4113 is another refurbished and repainted B7TL also.

Oh Superman where are you now, when everything's gone wrong somehow, the men of steel, the men of power, are losing control by the hour.

Saw B7TL 4120 at John Lennon Airport last Friday afternoon at around 16.15 with a front nearside flat tyre and a spare wheel beside it but, no driver or fitters near the bus it just looked abandoned

4110 is another B7TL to have been given its P&P treatment , it was on the 79 earlier today but mysteriously went out of service after 2:30ish , possibly a driver swap resulting in the bus being brought back to depot perhaps

Been hating Urban 90's since 2001Dodgy

RE: Arriva North West - Speke Depot
Had a ride on my first refurbished B7TL today in the form of 4113 and I can't praise it enough - absolutely outstanding throughout. They've done a stunning job with the interior, repainting and renewing where appropriate the seat backs and panels, and of course, blue blocks moquette. It looked as good as new, in fact arguably even better than when the B7s were new as the moquette and new seat back colour are an improvement over what was there before. The ride was, as usual from the ANW decker kings, exemplary.

The P&P programme has been instrumental in radically improving the interiors of a number of bus types now - X-reg Cadets, DAF DB250s and bench seated Darts in particular - but these are the best yet for me. I don't think the B7s looked too bad inside before refurb, especially considering 6 years of extremely intense use, but this is a clear step forward.
