That depot is closed. The company has opened another depot near their new depot in Aintree for withdrawn buses - when I had a look in there, it appeared that all of their S-KNL Optare Solo M850s were there and well-and-truly withdrawn. I think that, among the many Solos in there, one Optare Alero was there. There's a yard near their Southport depot which is full of withdrawn Optare Aleros, too. In their Southport depot is many ELC Myllenniums, along with a small fleet of service buses - hybrid Solo YJ12 GXK was in there about a month ago, along with two smaller MX55-plated Solos. Finally, their Birkenhead depot is open but I don't know about what's in there - apart from the "baby Solos" (MX08-plated ones) and Optare Alero YP52 JWL (and their two new "vans"...). I hope that this is of help to you!

Meanwhile, tatty-looking and awful-sounding hybrid Solo YJ12 GXD is on the 57C/58C/144/145 today.
