Lower Road in Hale has a low bridge so, unless they divert, you can't use a decker on the 3A

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.3563865,-2.7980624,3a,15y,173.71h,90.42t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s5pnfQmr_FvBLbvdy6ghxZw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

Height marked as 13'3''/4.0 metres - not sure on exact heights of the hybrids but a standard low bridge Enviro400 is 13'10''/4.216 metres high so quite a bit taller than the quoted bridge height.

You will find the sign will say a lower height we would go under with Crosville 13'6 deck's

4127 on the 82 this morning

4809 broken down on Speke Boulevard

Well that's a first for me, I happened to ride on 4829 in which four prams were present on the vehicle.

Any idea why the B5LH's have such a poor interior layout as compared to the StreetDecks I know this sounds like a rant but it's a longstanding question of mine.

4129 was in service on the 79 this morning.

Looks like it was took off 188 which is very unusual to happen not sure what on 188 now


RE: Arriva North West - Speke Depot - T42 PVM - 09/11/2022 12:05

721 back on the 188, I suspect the 188 was dropped for a couple of hours
