Has it come back from its repaint or was it diverted to Southport before it was due to go to St Helens?

Pulsar 3036 has joined 3042 at the body shop.

This is a nice refurbishment. Mind you, I thought route 47 buses would be refurbished to MAX standard, but no such plans now seem on the cards after all.

3033-3043 are getting done. 3033, 3036 and 3042 have been done so far. Credit to the Arriva Southport page for this information.

3040 was on the last 47 yesterday so hasn't left for the work yet!

4582 seems to have some work done to it to make it move like a Beast i had it on the 375 50 minutes ago and my word it's the fastest Arriva Enviro i've rode! i then boarded SH's 2965 on the 352 with Litter all over the floor but was still quite nippy for a Pulsar2

I've heard reports that a 47 has collided with a car on Liverpool Road in Formby this morning and that the road is closed. Not sure of injuries hope all ok.
