Does anyone know if it is destined for a local operator, or maybe was it just passing through. Still in Dublin livery, but seemingly no longer owned by them.

I wonder if this ex Dublin B7 may have something to do with Helms ?? I know MrCherry had a few in his Eastham yard ongoing to Ensign.. Just a thought

I assume it is already known, but I noticed a couple of the St Helens E10 vehicles in a Scrap Yard on Corporation Road in Birkenhead earlier.

I believe they have been there for some time now, surprised they haven't been cut up by now.

I thought they were the old E1s at first then saw they were the bigger version- first time I'd seen them. Apart from smashed windows they seem to be largely intact from what I could see.

Huge waste to scrap the st Helens ones, if our old Gulliver where snatched up I'm sure these would have been too.

The former Wirral ones moved on elsewhere. S251/2/4/5 AFA went to the university of Sunderland and where concerted to trial hydrogen technology. I believe they havesince been scrapped.

S253/6AFA Sat at Liverpool Airport up until 2013/14 and are now owned by Dundee Taxis and live at TayTyres workshop!

White and two-tone blue Optare Alero YN53 SUA latterly of South Yorkshire area, seen a couple of times around Liverpool (Edge Lane vicinity) in the past few days, anyone know whose this is? Cumfybus would seem the most likely suspect; HTL is another possibility, except that if it were theirs then I imagine Steve would have reported its arrival before now!
