I get what you mean but I'd imagine it'll be like previous years where B7TLs have been brought in on loan here and they'll be used to boost capacity on Green Lane's own routes. I know the 922 shuttle service is being strengthened to boost capacity as much as possible but whether it's Green Lane or another depot providing the vehicles for Arriva's share of the route I don't know

I do think your idea is good and in the long term I think the best solution to providing extra capacity for large events such as the Grand National would be to either buy or bring in more double deckers for Green Lane (it's not like they aren't needed) and then Speke's double deckers can go on loan to Bootle and Southport to boost capacity on their routes as you've suggested
