Arriva North West - Green Lane Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Green Lane Depot
All of Green Lane's 12 new Enviro400 deckers have now appeared on the GOV.UK vehicle registration database.

The first two were road-ready on Thursday 4th December, so I cannot understand why they haven't been put into traffic yet.
Maybe they're being used as 'Driver Familiarisation' buses?

Either way, the latest arrivals (10 of them) have a 'Date of First Registration' of 1st January 2015. They also have a 'Year of Manufacture' of 2015! I know Arriva like to look into the future, but that's ridiculous!


Anyway, here's the full list....
4584 (SL64 JCX) NEW 04-12-2014, TAX 01-12-2015, 6696ccDIESEL, TURQUOISE.
4585 (SL64 JCY) NEW 04-12-2014, TAX 01-12-2015, 6696ccDIESEL, TURQUOISE.
4586 (SL64 JCZ) NEW 01-01-2015, TAX 01-01-2016, 6696ccDIESEL, TURQUOISE.
4587 (SL64 JDF) NEW 01-01-2015, TAX 01-01-2016, 6696ccDIESEL, TURQUOISE.
4588 (SL64 JDJ) NEW 01-01-2015, TAX 01-01-2016, 6696ccDIESEL, TURQUOISE.
4589 (SL64 JDK) NEW 01-01-2015, TAX 01-01-2016, 6696ccDIESEL, TURQUOISE.
4590 (SL64 JDO) NEW 01-01-2015, TAX 01-01-2016, 6696ccDIESEL, TURQUOISE.
4591 (SL64 JDU) NEW 01-01-2015, TAX 01-01-2016, 6696ccDIESEL, TURQUOISE.
4592 (SL64 JDX) NEW 01-01-2015, TAX 01-01-2016, 6696ccDIESEL, TURQUOISE.
4593 (SL64 JDZ) NEW 01-01-2015, TAX 01-01-2016, 6696ccDIESEL, TURQUOISE.
4594 (SL64 JEJ) NEW 01-01-2015, TAX 01-01-2016, 6696ccDIESEL, TURQUOISE.
4595 (SL64 JEO) NEW 01-01-2015, TAX 01-01-2016, 6696ccDIESEL, TURQUOISE.

They all pay the usual decker tax of £500 a year and -as you can see- they all use the proven Cummins ISBe 6.7 litre engine.
4596 (SL64 JEU), 4597 (SL64 JFA), 4598 (SL64 JFE) and 4599 (SL64 JFF) aren't on the registration database yet, despite appearing on BLOTW.

Check out the registration database yourself. Needless to say, they come under ALEXANDER DENNIS....
