RE: Merseyrail Rail Replacement Buses
Merseyrail is off between Rock Ferry and Hamilton Square at the moment so Arriva is running a rail replacement service, using B7's 4102, 4103 and Enviro400's 4415 & 4680. Broken down train at Birkenhead Central is the cause.

Worth bumping this thread as there is engineering works at Liverpool Central from 26/2 to 1/3, there are rail replacement buses between Moorfields and Hunts Cross for the whole period....hopefully 4699 might make an appearance??

I know some buses and drivers for the RR are provided by Bootle, but curious about how changeover happens. Are they temporarily stationed in Speke or changeover at Moorfields or run dead back to Bootle for changeover?
