good news that cant wait to see these Hybrids


RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - J654UHN - 03/02/2013 13:34

They are due the last week of this month


RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - R879 HRF - 03/02/2013 13:39

Correct, but training is supposed to be starting over the next 2/3 weeks to get the buses on the road asap once theyve arrived.

As has been mentioned, due to the large amount of them arriving at once, they need to get as many out on the road as possible as soon as possible!


RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - N301 CKB - 03/02/2013 13:47

At least one should be arriving this week, as you say Luke due to the large amount arriving and not enough room in the depot to store all of them, they need to get them on the road asap and the other deckers out the depot.

In the depot and around the local area with an instructor on board if it's anything like the training that took place with the Solo SRs in St Helens. Not really anywhere else training would be likely to take place taking into account what has already been said. Pretty deductible in fact if what has been posted was read.

Might be worth checking Birkenhead Docks as well......it was mentioned by someone on a yahoo group that they might be coming through Birkenhead!
