Don't if anyone else knows or Has seen of it!

GHD Hair styling products.

Its a remdition of what 4120 had a while back, but instead of the whole thing lighting up, only parts of the advert do

Saw 4111 myself tonight and thought it looked superb. Nice to see the partly illuminated advert and front fleet number in the right place unlike 4116. Always thought 4111 was one of the best riding B7s as well but haven't been on it for a while, so it's certainly one to look out for.

4114 soldiers on with its worn out old livery following two overall adverts. I noticed an unusual low-backed seat on the front row downstairs in recent weeks on this, but the headrest was present and correct again tonight. Good attention to detail once again from the Speke lads.

apparently 2502 got towed into Speke last night from Winford probberly a loan since Speke are short.

Highly doubt they would of wasted £300 on a tow if the bus can drive fine

Hmm what did I say about 4111 haha, the smell of fumes from the back of 4111 don't seem particularly healthy if I'm being honest, blue smoke - it could just be oil and nothing to worry about but bit strange tbf

I've ridden Commander 2589 a couple of times recently and the engine sound seems different from the other Commanders. Has anyone else noticed this!

Speke must be doing the repairs. If it is repairs i wonder why St Helens are not doing the repairs as they have the repair centre?
