Even stranger, is the fact your dream could come true! By the way, these Trident/Enviro400 deckers were promised to Bootle as far back as December '12. I know this to be true as a good mate of mine gets accurate information from the depot as he works there  Anyway, I'm looking forwards to riding these ex-Wirral deckers, they'll make a nice change from the DLAs which really are knackered now

But, at the end of the day, they're here now and I'm sure that they'll bed-in nicely at Bootle with their younger sisters.(14/03/2013 19:02)3111 Wrote:Even stranger, is the fact your dream could come true!(14/03/2013 14:38)507009 Wrote: According to the Arriva North West Facebook page, there will be 12 Enviro400s due here from Birkenhead imminently.

Wonder if they'll be used on the Aintree shuttles tomorrow, Friday and Saturday... If so, probably about as close as they'll get to Park Lane!

4419 looks much smarter without the Cross River branding. |
