That's KX59 CXP, which has been provided to Impera from Dawsonrentals as a temporary replacement for 2568 (an insurance agreement, I believe) which is accident-damaged. It'll remain at Impera until 2568's condition is determined (repairable or non-repairable).

Interestingly, the Enviro200 features dual-purpose seating inside and a sunroof (if that's what it's called on buses!). I sampled it on the 98 between Liverpool and Birkenhead today and it was a nice, smooth and comfortable ride with few rattles. I think that it's a bit small for the 98 as it can get busy at times, however it's definitely better than no bus at all as there are problems with a few buses at the moment (hence why 'deckers took-up places on normal boards after their dedicated school work today).

There's a photo of 2021 (my namesake...!) broken-down at that location on Facebook (uploaded at 16:36 today) with the company van and engineering manager's car behind it, so I presume that it was that one (unless two failed there today!). The photographer reckoned that the bus was on fire, although I can't expand on that at the moment...
