As the title says, there are 5 First Leeds Electroliners in Liverpool this week for use on shuttles between Lime Street station and the Labour Party Conference at the Echo Arena....the 5 are 36592, 36607, 36611, 36612....36611 at least is tracking as well. 36648 is the 5th to also come over but is within the venue with tables fitted.
HTH
First Class will be busy on Avanti trains this week. MPs only travel in first Class!
I'm actually surprised that a few of the E400EV's in 'METRO' livery haven't been sent down to do this......

What a surprise,i thought fly would have used the plane
Quite an interesting operation this as all is not as it seems with these vehicles, these vehicles are on hire to First Manchester for the Labour party conference in Liverpool but from what I can gather they are being garaged/charged up overnight at Warrington's Own Buses.
I think the whole thing has actually been organised by First Transport Solutions hence why the buses are on loan to First Manchester.
Noticed on GB NEWS, one of these buses are actually inside the conference centre.

First Bus were also at the Reform conference. I think they are just trying to get in with anyone and everyone at the moment.
