An 04 or 54 plate Cadet is here. It's had some for of branding removed and has no machine. Wonder if irs for service?

RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
no machine means yes as depots keep the machines

RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
If its had branding removed, potentially an 04 from Bangor? Certainly none of the 54s in St Helens have branding.

RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
A lad i know in Bangor has said a few of the cadets from that depot have disappeared, he said hes heard some are in the paint shop, but unsure where CX54 EPL and CX54 EPO are. Perhaps its one of these?

They both had branding for route X32.

It's a Commander infact! Been at Wrexham for a while looking tired. Could be a swap for Enviro's?

RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
Been informed by a source from the depot that the hybrids are now expected to be delayed due to a fault theyve found.

Apparantly they keep dont stop charging when they should and keep overcharging themselves, causing further problems regarding the battery and motor.

Best get used to these DLAs then!

This isnt very good news , wonder what the timetable is now for the enviros as Birkenhead will be loathe to take a big contingent of DLA's which seem to be nothing but trouble .
