2267 has indeed entered service it is now out on the 32's replacing 7634.

Managed to grab a quick ride, not to bad of a bus. It has only had a paint job though and not full p&p treatment.

Thanks!

4014 is still out on 33's - it was on the 1459 from St Helens towards Sutton Heath.

On a 10 on the way out of Liverpool, it's rammed, the only other experience I have had like it is the London Underground. Is it frequently like this or is it just the odd service that gets busy.
Doesn't of course help when those standing won't move down the bus.
The poor driver got a load of abuse for telling somebody to stand behind the yellow line, little wonder bus drivers are always grumpy haha

It's like that all the time, I'm afraid, yet it remains almost always a decker-free zone. Farcical.

I completely agree.
If it were actual competition with Stagecoach, then maybe Arriva would see the need to shape up and actually try and keep their customers happy.
But this QBP arrangement seems to have quite a different effect.

Forgive me for being naive but what dose QBP stand for?
I was going to ask what the busiest route was at St Helens but the answer to that would be obvious so does anybody have any knowledge what the busiest routes are on Merseyside?

Quality Bus Partnership IIRC Smile Not sure what the busiest route would be, its probably one of the main corridor routes (10,14,20,53,79,82,86 etc)

Shame it's been repainted as I quite liked the Trafford Metro livery - it certainly would have stood out in St Helens!
