2404 has been parked at the back of Green Lane Depot for a month or two (at least) with missing bodywork, so I can't see that one entering service again. Today, I've seen 2405 (8/9), 2406 (either 8/9 or 12/13), 2410 (12/13), 2411 (15), 2413 (12/13) and 2415 (12/13). If I'm correct, that leaves just 2408, 2409 and 2414 unaccounted for (needless to say, I was only around this afternoon and wasn't particularly looking out for them).

I managed to ride on 2411 on the 15 (possibly a replacement for 3056, which was parked in Huyton Bus Station lay-over area with a fitter at the wheel), which wasn't great - rattly, uncomfortable and worn inside and outside, although it didn't sound too bad. I also managed to ride on 2413 on the 13, which was actually alright - sounded strong, quite smooth, few rattles and still looking good inside and outside from what I seen.

2221 and 2223 (which I had and was struggling with its gears) were on the 10B. 2556 was on the 15. 2345 was on the 18 with a Renown (either 2716 or 2718 as 2717 and 2719 were both on the 12/13).
