From what I heard back in October, it's a batch of 71 registered Evoras from Luton, theres around 14 of them so I don't know it Bootle will be getting the whole lot or a good number of them. The Evoras aren't due for any other depots as far as I know.

It was also mentioned around the time I found out that they're not due to enter service until March, but since it's been relatively quiet I don't know if it's been pushed back or not. (as well as a rumor of Birkenhead getting a batch Streetlites from the North East and St. Helens getting a batch of 17 reg E200MMCs from Luton) I don't know if these rumors got anywhere.

EDIT: Apparently Bootle are due a few new ones as well from what I was told when I enquired about it a while ago.

There's a boat due in at Avonmouth Docks in the next 3 weeks or so which should have the beginning of Bootle and Luton's Evoras on it amongst some of the balancefor Warrington and Metroline in Manchester too.

Once it Docks the Arriva ones will probably go to MCV at Ely and Volvo there for PDI checks and finishing before onward delivery with them being diesel powered.. I hope this helps your query.

They come of the boat in quite a raw state

The Birkenhead Pulsar swap for streetlites I believe will be this weekend. St helens is getting MMC from Luton but this can't happen until Luton get the new Evoras.
