I managed to get a photo of it in mid-February and don't recall seeing it since then whenever I've been at Liverpool ONE or heading down Queens Drive, maybe I have but can't be certain, but now it is showing up as SORN.

Thanks for the update I’m guessing it’s been withdrawn then

Seems to be severe disruption at the moment, especially to 80/A services. No doubt due to the City Centre scheme with services being constantly diverted.

Apologies if this has already been asked but are Arriva click still operating in the city centre? I'm sure I've just seen one doing a shuttle

I know for a fact that I was frequently seeing the Click vans on Clatterbridge P&R services on the odd occasion, and they still run the 201 service from Speke's Morrisons store to Liverpool, though I haven't seen a singular vehicle on the 201 in person.
Though I'm confident that the Clatterbridge P&R is actually ran by the Click vans from Green Lane, as I recall seeing BYD's allocated to the service a year ago as well as Clatterbridge's close proximity to Green Lane. Not sure about which depot runs the 201 unfortunately.
Arriva did announce in July of last year that the Click service was not returning due to COVID-19 but they'd continue to run the 201.

The 201 is indeed operated by Speke depot, as well as the Speke Zone DRT service on behalf of Merseytravel.
I believe some drivers come off the Speke Zone service to then operate the 201

ArrivaClick services were stopped on 29/3/2020 due to Covid and in July 2020 it was announced it would not be returning apart from the 201 and Speke Zone service.
The Speke Zone service which is operated as ArrivaClick DRT under contract to Merseytravel, the 201 bus service and Clatterbridge Park and Ride all remain in operation. All buses and drivers are run from Green Lane Depot. Speke do not operate any of these services.
Clatterbridge used BYD electrics originally but this transferred as planned to Click from Sept 2020.
All services are worked with a PVR of 4 buses and are inter worked with each other for efficiency.

I hope Arriva DaySavers are valid on route 201 without us needing Merseytravel tickets.
