The Fylde Transport Trust have sent former Blackpool Transport PD2 346 to the paint shop. The bus will be repainted into old cream and green livery.

Noted at the rear of Jackson St is ex Southport Pulsar2 2994 and 3011.
More of interest is ex Warrington's own busses MMc enviro200 YX18KTV. Have heard this is to be incorporated into the Arriva fleet but unsure of what area as of yet.

That seems a weird move suspect full interior rip out and standard Arriva interior applied as all of them have that Sofa at the back instead of usual seating layout also full destination blind and next stop screen switch from mobitec to Hanover Displays going be a intresting and massive job

That will be a big task, presume others will also join Arriva as seems strange for just 1 random bus

I assume 2994 and 3011 will be moving on to pastures new unless they've been withdrawn for spares?

I heard 2994 3011 plus 2991 and 2992 are coming to Chester to replace 2665 2680 2685 2686 which will go into the pool fleet
