2438 is a nice one, as is 2448. Not really liked any of the ex Speke ones so far, except one which I didnt note the fleet number of, may have been 2433/4

The dedicated bus is going to be Dart MPD 886 Y46 TDA. Lee, if you want to find out where it goes look it up on the Merseytravel website!

Heswall - Irby

Heswall - Lower Village

The Irby route does go down some rather tight roads in the Irby area , so something with a short wheelbase would be handy.

I'm sure somebody mentioned a while ago the contract does mention that a short wheel based bus is needed, could be interesting!

As to where will it go, it already does go! Currently operated by A2B and previously it was Eazibus IIRC.

I think Arriva getting this route was a major surprise , dont know when arriva last obtained a week day daytime merseytravel tender , it must be a fair while , forget the likes of the one off Saturday 117.
