So that is the reason why the 487 a couple of years ago went from 30 minute to 20 minutes and back to 30 minute .

If the railway was more reliable from Neston via Bidston to Liverpool then it would probably make some inroads into the passenger flow of the 487.

I think the cadets are more reliable than the myllenniums and more flexiable as well,surely it would a good idea to give the remaining cadets a refurb. to give them another 12 months.

I do think that the Mylleniums have been the pyriah vehicles of Arriva Merseyside , the vehicles that really nobody wants but has to have .

I wouldn't say nobody wants, Speke had their original one's for a very long time. It was only the enviro 400's that saw them off from Speke as their oldest vehicles.

They're probably not DDA in which case they'll have to go this year.

Being half term some of the routes that have double deckers may need that extra capacity that a double decker has .

Can one presume that 3123-5 have now left Laird Street for pastures new? Didn't see them out and about today.
