If you look at the lower saloon on the driver's side of the bus, instead of having only 1 window the same size as the one behind the stairs (just under half the size of the longer standard), the bus has 2, and instead of 3 standard sized windows, it has only 2.

Around the second week of September, so something like the 8th or there abouts.

This probably allows for a reshuffle of the existing buses in that quiet phase before the university term starts.

Is there any plans for a launch of these vehicles

Yes there is a launch however not a public one, as with the previous batch of Volvo ALX400's

I've been told the Enviro400s are due in traffic from Monday 1st September, when the timetables return to normal on the 81/82/86 routes. The depot's PVR will increase considerably from the 1st.

There aren't many Myllenniums left at Speke now, although 2455 is one of them, seen on route learning duties yesterday (28/08) with its unmissable front end.
