Three more have now turned up, former First Leeds 39226, 39231 & 39233

The Queensway [Birkenhead] Tunnel was horrendous earlier today, buses were running up to 50 minutes late around 4pm, queuing traffic halfway down the tunnel from the Liverpool end, i was glad i mistook the 437 for the 407, & changed at Birkenhead for the 414 instead.

E200MMC 2752 (YY74LVK) has been delivered to Laird Street today, Green Lane is also said to have received one as well. These are in the yellow/grey/black 'Metro' livery.

I believe unlike Manchester franchised buses these E200MMCS are standard Arriva interior just with Merseytravel livery, surprised in that to be honest, would have expected full Metro franchising inside as well as outside

I wouldn't be surprised if the 'Metro' interior starts to be featured when the franchises start, can see large amounts of new vehicles coming in as is the case now in Manchester.....
