4594 is oos with a gearbox problem

4594 was out this morning.

Just a question, Would the next Enviro400 batch be the
new ones or will they still be tridents?.
RE: Arriva North West - Green Lane Depot - SK15 GZG - 10/01/2015 15:04
I think it depends when they were ordered. I'd really like to see the new Enviro400 variant as it's growing on me and I think it would look smart in Interurban. I think it's just a case of wait and see when Arriva announce the order later in the year

I must say I'm quite impressed with Dart 2219 this afternoon, certainly puts the DAF SB120/Cadet I had earlier on the Wirral to shame acceleration wise.

I had ex Bolton depot Myllennium 2474 earlier on the 13 and I have to say it's definitely the best of this type I've traveled on up to now. In my opinion I think the Myllenniums (particularly the ones that were refurbished when they were based at Speke) are underrated buses and are far superior to the Darts they have replaced

I agree with you, the mylleniums get poor press off some people but apart from one or two shakers I don't mind them. I also agree about 2474, I had that quite recently and was quite impressed and very few rattles.

Yeah I like most of them there's only one or two I'm not keen on. I think they're good solid buses and I hope that they see further use after Green Lane once further double deckers arrive - perhaps as Dart replacements at other depots
I did notice 2474 still has a Greater Manchester Quality Bus Partner sticker in the window closest to the doors - haven't noticed if fellow ex Bolton Myllenniums 2454/64 still have one though

Former Green Lane 3154 (MX13 ANP) and 3155 (MX13 ANR) are now with Arriva Midlands as 3800 and 3801 respectively

Just had 2472 on 13's, no rattles, or idle vibrations and seems to have been tightened up a fair bit, really wouldn't have any complaints except for the heating not working so not ideal for a cold morning.
