...Or that the paintshop is full of Bolton pulsars waiting for the sapphire treatment

Plus maybe Speke need it in service desperately.

A very loud 2732 is on the 81 today

4111 is another B7TL to be treated to AdBlue conversion. Not sure if there is any others apart from this and 4119.

4108, 4109, 4110, 4111, 4119 all converted to date.

Bendy buses all out if service now too with ops discs removed, including wayfarer trays.

4445 has just been involved in a collision at the 5ways whilst working a 79D into town. I was on the top deck. Some moron decided to cut in front of the bus to exit onto queens drive.

The front offside of 4445 is a bit mangled but the car fared much worse as the bus hit it full on on the nearside.

Luckily nobody appears to be hurt on the bus and the driver and sole passenger of the car appear shaken but unhurt

That must make Speke very short of high capacity buses if they're out of service, although with it being University holidays, they should cope until September

Makes me wonder whether the bendy buses are just out of service during the summer vacation as I know Stagecoach Manchester do or used to do this with some of their Magicbus fleet, some would be delicensed for the summer period then would be relicensed in time for when the students went back in September


RE: Arriva North West - Speke Depot - J654UHN - 20/06/2014 08:21

All Bendys off the road for good now. Unreliable high costs and plus the few fires its not worth the risk

So that probably put pays to the idea of the deckers moving elsewhere when the 86 gets its new ones
