She's been in that advert for nearly 3 weeks.

Do we know if anything is being exchanged in return for the loan? What exactly are they going on loan to Yorkshire for?

Pass but we have had a notice asking if any drivers wanted to work in Wakefield for about a month. Seems not only short of busses but also drivers

They are on loan as they are short of serviceable buses. Nothing coming in return. Likely to be there for a few weeks. The 35day maintenance will be carried out at Speke with buses swapping over to Wakefield as required.

Was watching some dashcam compilations and one of the clips brought up one of the vehicles at Morrison's in Speke with a load of kids jumping out from the back of the bus whilst it was out of service, with the last stowaway falling out of the bus as it turns onto Speke Boulevard

How was this driver that inattentive to ensure that their vehicle was empty? These standards are shocking for a driver, and I obviously don't condone what those kids were doing. Had one of these kids been injured (especially the last one falling out of the bus right as it was turning) As the emergency exit was opened, an alarm would've sounded that warned the driver that an emergency exit door had been opened. The fact the driver chose to ignore what was going on and carry on driving is extremely shocking, I would assume had one of these kids been injured, that driver would've been held responsible for what happened.

The bus wasn’t out of service, it’s on route 82 and you can see that in the video.

This is likely to have been filmed during the closure of Eastern Avenue a few weeks ago where the 82 was diverted along Speke Boulevard and down Western Ave to Central Ave roundabout and back again.

The kids have probably realised that the bus isn’t serving their stop, pressed the bell (as can been seen in the clip with the ‘stopping’ sign illuminated) and decided that rather than wait for the bus to stop, they’d dive out the emergency exit, including one who decided to do it whilst the bus moved, although I’m not condoning the actions of the driver.

Anyone know if 4564 has also gone on loan to Yorkshire?
