Arriva has won it this time around....

3199 has an orange destination display.
It and 3193 have wing mirrors. The camera mirrors are still in situ.

On the Bank Holiday I saw a couple of refurbished Enviro400s, on routes 52 & 60.

These have the new blue moquette in place of the dark blue leather seats.

I wonder if the priority is to refurbish Bootle buses or whether batches at other garages will also be refurbished?

There have been examples ar St Helens and Green Lane refubished as well, not just Bootle

Thank you for this update.

I am due 1 more visit to Liverpool (avoiding St Helens) in the new year prior to franchising so hope to locate and ride one then.

Even after franchising they seem very likely to be retained by Arriva, to replace older double-decks elsewhere.
