The size of that site could be used to build a new depot large enough for ANW to merge GL's North Liverpool routes north of Prescot Road with Bootle with a possibility of Speke being able to take over GL routes in Huyton and Prescot Road. GL though is a handy base/location for ANW to have and this is just an idea!
I completely agree with that! That land has been empty for a while now. There were meant to be some development work on one side (a new church), however that was scrapped and the new church was moved elsewhere (to an existing building, as far as I know). If it's still available, it'd be a perfect opportunity for them. Everything, apart from the 6/7/8/9/10B (which could be ran out of Speke), could be ran out of a new, bigger depot there.

Anyway, some unusual allocations today, from what I seen... Cadet DK55 FXC (2518) was on the 311. On Merseyrail replacement services were DAF/ALX400s S266 JUA (4026), S270 JUA (4030), T303 FGN (4063), T304 FGN (4064) and S244 JUA (4074). Plaxton Pointer 2 X228 ANC (2228) was on the 60. Finally, I had a blast from the past this afternoon - ALX200 X263 OBN (2263) was on the 52/52A!
