The hybrids are all meant to be getting refurbed from later this year

Thanks for the update. Hopefully, some USB charging points will be installed as well. Otherwise, they're good buses.

They may need a slight refurb with new seat covers but that's about it. Some people have got used to new buses a lot. Stagecoach only changed their X2 buses at 8 years old for example.
Agreed, it's a hysterical overreaction to say they need replacing when all they need is a refurb with new seat covers, although i can't see USB ports being installed anytime soon.

On some of the hybrids the hybrid-drive needs to be looked some are so rough on changeover and others do it quite good .
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - MPTE1955 - 16/07/2018 17:52
They will just need a bit of an overhaul, a paint and new seat covers. Probably that time of life anyway.

Given the state of the vehicles on Cross Rive has just been discussed, it is quite ironic that Arriva have just done a promotional video about the routes.

Don't quite think the scene of Birkenhead Park's Grand Entrance fits into the 432/433 somehow though.
