RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
It just seems odd to hold such a small batch .

We have seen the chaos that ensues from having a small batch of anything just look at home many times 4000/1/2 have been available for service altogether admittedly 4421 and 4422 shouldnt be off the road as much.

Is it possible to walk around the perimeter to write down some fleet numbers or are there fences in the way? I see a big brick wall down Plumer Street, so wont see anything on that side. Is there any access down the other side or at the back (driving or on foot). What are the chances of getting permission from the Garage Manager to go into the yard / garage to write numbers down by just turning up in a hi-viz vest?

Unfortunatly with Laird Street garage the only open side is the front entrance, behind is the railway and has high walls around each side.

As far as I know gaining access is difficult however phoning up wont hurt! Im not sure if anybody has had any luck getting in just by turning up and asking, worth a shot though i suppose!

I was in Birkenhead on Sunday morning & went into the depot & asked permission. That permission was granted by an extremely friendly chap at reception (thanks to you if you read this forum). He said that was fine to do & just asked me to stay between the pedestrian lines & not to go into the workshop / garage. There were approx 70 buses in the yard.

Don't think you should advertise this incase it gets someone in trouble

RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
To be honest Pulsar's are the norm for the 118/119 , in the summer months with an occasional dose of double deckers when the weather is fine and there is no rail replacement work.

Nightmare trying to over the wirral today with that Liverpool - Chester bike rude, we got the 437 and gave up by the tunnel when the nice driver advised us that it was going to take some time to get to Birkenhead with the Wallasey tunnel rammed. Buses just seemed stacked up and one idiot took exception by kicking the doors when got off because the driver never told him when he got on. He never broke the doors though.
