So it appears this years Merry-go-round of buses is about to start, and the question is where will these Mylleniums end up? Here's hoping the whole batch turn up at Green Lane as Dart replacements, they'd be ideal. (No matter how awful they are) Hopefully they'll go through a similar P&P program to the V-ENC DAFs when/if they transfer. Does anyone know when Laird Street's Pulsars are due back?

Hopefully some of the mylleniums will replace some marshalls, even though the mylleniums are not particularly good either. We shall simply have to wait & see.

Plaxton Pointer 2 2345 was unusually on the 407/471/472 today:

It was back out yesterday - on the 432/433/437! Smile

Late in posting but Cadets 2431 & 2434 have returned from St Helens, now to see if it continues with 2435-9 & 2447-9. (well I say 2439, however this is still out of use!)

Myllennium's will be leaving shortly with the new Pulsars starting to arrive in the next 2 weeks.


RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - P450 SWX - 08/09/2012 20:06

Anything confirmed where ALX300 and mylleniums will go?


RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - V671 DVU - 08/09/2012 20:20

Andy, if someone knew they would post it... We'll find out when the time comes, the Pulsars will start arriving very soon indeed.

Got on the 1303 from mill park which should have been a 118 but was showing 119
when i told the the stupid driver he was on the wrong route he just shrugged it off
only used the bus in Bromborough put pity anyone waiting on the 118 route
anyway i reported it to LS but wonder if any action will be taken
