Noticed a streetdeck floating around St Helens this afternoon, obviously not in service and think had the LGBQT stripe through it. Anyone know what it was, was in latest colours. Passed JS and looked like it was back in the depot. |

It was likely one of the three Streetdeck vehicles that are here for rail rep work, the stripe you are talking about is two tone grey/yellow with an M (Merseytravel) logo on the offside, they do look very smart from what I briefly seen of them I must admit Been hating Urban 90's since 2001 ![]() |

Usual Bustimes precautions but there's also a fourth, 7771, which will be based with the other two apparently at Laird Street if that is apparently there. On an unrelated side note, does anyone know why the E400FCEV's have suddenly dropped out of services entirely? I assume the hydrogen tanker delivered to the depot has been exhausted now? |

The answer to the second part is that the hydro fleet has been removed from service for a minimum of 4 months due to reliability issues. The fuelling tanker has also been removed from Jackson street. Can't help but feel now the hydro fleet will all end up back up the M6 in Falkirk returned back to ADL. |

Thanks Chris for clarifying as I was wondering myself what had happened to them. |

Another hydrogen bus departed the depot today back to ADL in Falkirk, just the 1 left to go. Looks like these won't bee seen again any time soon. |
