Arriva North West - Bootle Depot
RE: Arriva North West - Bootle Depot
Ex-Skelmersdale-based Pulsar 2 3027 was on the 311 today, along with dodgy-sounding (and "slow") Pulsar 2918 and sister-bus (and also "slow) 2919. Cadet 2518 was also among the allocation with DAF/ALX400 S266 JUA 4026 - the latter was replaced during the afternoon by an "Interurban" Marshall. I rode on 2918 this morning and it was very slow off the line - it seemed to change from gear one to gear two too early (with a clunk each time) and it wouldn't change up again when it needed to, hence its atrocious speed off the line. I also rode on 4026 and it performed well, however it seemed to change gear roughly...

Cadet DK55 FXB (2517) was on the 345 and sister-bus DK55 FXD (2519) was on the 350, whilst younger Cadet CX07 CSO (2638) was on the 54, unusually with ALX200 X264 OBN (2264). On the 52/52A, running in order, were Plaxton Pointer 2 X226 ANC (2226) and DAF/ALX400 S252 JUA (4082).

Finally, 3111 overheated within Aintree Merseyrail Station this afternoon whilst on the 53A. Interestingly, its cooling fan wasn't on - it was a few days ago, though. Apparently, the "bus-on-fire" icon was flashing on the dashboard...! Pulsar CX58 FZE (2923) replaced it.
