Does anybody know any info about
How 2597 was damaged
I also suspect that will be the latest commander to be given a full refurb and painted into the new standard livery (interurban)

It's alright, don't ask if anyone was hurt etc just care about the bus...

Haha I know the people must be alright otherwise it would have been seen on the news plus nobody would know if anyone was ok and that is one of my favourite commanders lol just wondering what happened

As you know we had a dennis dart here last week that was on the 79 and 80 services that is now back at green lane. From what I have heard the 2 ENC's will be heading back soon and if the Refurbed buses aren't back on time we could have some more coming out way.

Look out for something interesting in arriva speke because it is possible we could have some more loans in the very near future

Buses from GL were used due to one of the managers of GL moving over to Speke Depot, and due to the fact GL are currently in excess buses, hence withdrawing and displacing stock.
All 4 of the ex-Blue bus fleet are currently not in use.

All "Strange" buses at Speke are loans and should be returning to their original depot, or otherwise. They are only here during the refurbishment program. The DLA's will probably stay until this is complete and then be off for scrap, along with the remaining 1998/1999 DAF stock, replaced by the 2002 reg Plaxton Presidents rumored for the North West

There was a crash between a bus on a car on the radio on Speke Boulevard on Monday afternoon I think it was, but no reports of which one/operator or how bad...suppose it could have been this one

3313 is on the 699 today while 4113 is a welcome visitor to the 82.


RE: Arriva North West - Speke Depot - MX12CFE - 31/05/2013 11:07

Mark Haldon reports on yahoo groups that 2597 may have been the bus involved in an RTA with a car in speke on tuesday which would have suggest it to have been working 80/80A/81 at the time.

I'd love to know if 3313 (R313 WVR) is out this afternoon as today is MOST DEFINITELY its last day with Arriva!

Road tax expires midnight and -of course- tomorrow marks its 15th birthday (new as MTL 0313 on 1st June 1998).

If you don't get your last ride today, you may have left it too late...Sad
