RE: Arriva North West - Bootle Depot
Are there any plans regarding 4117 please, considering now Arriva no longer operate school services. |

RE: Arriva North West - Bootle Depot
My understanding was that 4117 and 4699 are the designated rail replacement buses at Bootle, as 4113 and 4114 currently are at Birkenhead. Presumably the school duty was just a useful place to use the depot's oldest bus and 4117 will remain at Bootle for a while longer.

Getting worked on as this is a dedicated Rail Bus and is very fast and smooth to drive! Seem to not go over 40mph which may be why gears recently failed. 4117 is also dedicated rail bus. |

Apparently 2668 is now here, I would guess this is a loan (as per bustimes.org) 2670 is also apparently here now in the reserve fleet (as per buslists.uk) |
