Arriva North West - Bootle Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Bootle Depot
I managed to ride on Enviro400 4417 this evening on the 52A between Bootle and Liverpool. This was quite sluggish and rattly, but it was nice to be on the type of bus which should dominate the 52/52A at all times. Sadly, this wasn't the case today as the double-decker allocation was let-down by two smaller buses, Plaxton Pointer 2 2232 and Marshall 7675, being on the service (both running before 4417).

Furthermore, 4418 was on the 60 this evening. Must say that it stood-out and looked presentable from the outside when I seen it, ironically, from the top deck of 4417!

Meanwhile, I had Marshall 7649 (again!) this morning on my 58 from Netherton to Liverpool. I enjoyed the ride (again!), however an alarm was going off in the cab for the majority of my journey. It must have been took off of the road during the day, however, as it was on the 56A this evening.
