R556 ABA was also on the 411 yesterday but escaped my camera.

thanks- no sign of the Marshalls though. I know one was out on Saturday, but didn't get a ride. Contemplating if it will be possible to get a last ride on an R-ABA or a Marshall this weekend.

Can't wait for the darts to go, vile sheds. On another note which I couldnt post about, on saturday night DAF DB250 S281 JUA/4141 broke down on a 437 on Cook Street, mechanic on scene around 2130 , and 2404 failed on a 118/9 and got towed in at around 00:30.

I managed to ride 7642 on the 419 on Saturday, wasn't sounding it's best either, and the gearbox was making the bus jerk out and into each gear, wasn't a pleasant ride at all.

Such negativity! Can't say I'm a great fan, but as times change I want to take my last opportunity to ride Arriva Darts in the Wirral. And in any event as I said last week, imho I'll take a Dart over a Cadet any day.

RE: Arriva North West- Birkenhead Depot
We've been really lucky in the Wirral in recent years due to the diversity of buses at LS. But no more Palatines, no more Darts, Y-ABAs are going, Mylleniums are going - it's going to get a bit boring.
