2578 had a fire shortly after it entered service with Green Lane, if you search "Arriva 2578" into google, it's one of the first links that shows up.

4211 is allocated here but NfS at the moment

Juts had my first ride of 4210 on the 81, not sure what to make of it to be honest it was probably just alright and nothing else. However, it was cold on there and could have done with some heating on, not much in the way of rattles. One thing these are is better than the DLA's though.

Went on the 80A to the airport this morning. It was one of the Y plate Mylenniums. What a load of rubbish. Rattly, noisy, stunk of stale urine and very sluggish. Is this a Speke bus and are they all like this?

4114 broke down on the 86s on Smithdown Road this afternoon
RE: Arriva North West - Speke Depot - H101GEV - 03/03/2014 23:54
White Pulsar 7909 was on the 78 today, while I bagged a ride on 4213 which was on the 86/86A. A reasonable example with a very well refurbished interior but slightly bumpy ride. Nevertheless, an improvement on what it has replaced.

Had 2633 on 81 earlier, this has gear box issues as just wasn't changing gear at all and very slow. Also funny smell coming from the engine. Also had 2458 on 81, this really has to be the worst myllenium I have ridden, truly awful in all ways
