Do we know how long it will be until the Enviro400s start arriving at Speke?

Indeed, with Rhyl examples entering service this month and Southport ones in September, I reckon the Speke ones will be around November.

Originally the Speke ones were planned to arrive before the southport ones otherwise when the standard timetable re-instates around September, the depot is going to be incredibly short where as Southport currently has it's deckers (even if they do spend most of their life on the 43/46 at times)

Reported on the Southport thread that 4210 has transferred there with more to follow. Assuming that these will be 4209/11-13 will they be replaced?
With the loss of the bendi buses (8?) and Mylleniums (21) their replacements are the Tridents (19) and Wright Commanders (10).
Or were 4209-13 over the depot PVR?

Technically it's a loss of 10 bendybuses as the two that caught fire were never replaced by another vehicle too, However there was/is spares.
The two V reg Renowns will also be leaving the fleet too soon due to age.

I was in Bootle yesterday and the 81/81A was a real mixed bag. I saw 13 buses on the route 2452,2455,2459,2465,2466,2471,2581,4115,4209,4211,4213,4437 and 4470. Less than half were Mylleniums - has s bulk transfer to GL begun?

Incidentally off Speke topic I know but does 4214 ever get out? In 3 visits i have seen 4208 on the 60 or 61 but no sign of 4214.
