P.S. what are the other destinations on the top blind?

I not 100% sure, but from memory:

Christ the King High School
King George V College
Kew, Town Lane
Greenbank High School
Lord Street
Shevington Lane
Marsh Lane
Wigan
Southport
Ormskirk
Skelmersdale

There are probably a few more that have slipped my mind.

I've also seen:

Black Bull
Savio Salesian College
Freshfield
Pinfold Lane
Fairhaven Road
Maghull High School
Meols Cop
Waddicar Church

Thanks for confirming the others and I may have missed a few I think there's about 20 all together and are underused in my opinion as I feel they add something to the bus when used if you see what I mean.

2551 and 2675 are being used in normal service with the Enviro200s or native Pulsars allocated to the Kew Park & Ride. 7664 is still over the pits and has not entered service here as yet.

3319 is still in service, though this must be the last week that any of the Palatines will be in use.

Pulsar 3086 was on one of the Greenbank High School services this morning, with Volvo B7 4013 on Savio - Kirkdale Station this afternoon.

...whilst, at least, two 61-plated Pulsar 2s were on the 375/385! This was also the situation sometime last week, too.

4107 was on school too

Wouldn't it be brill to say farewell to the palatines in style by putting them on services they don't usually do.
One could be on the 42/44,one on the 47/48a,one on the 300 and one on Park and Ride and the other one (I think there's still 5) on the 375/385.


RE: Arriva North West - Southport Depot - H101GEV - 28/03/2013 12:21

Would anyone be able to provide the full list of school services that Southport operates, please? Thanks in advance.

Good idea. It would be a good send off for the old beasts. Although they are not permitted on the Park & Ride as the contract specifys Low Floor only.

2 off them out today on 43/46,also you will never see a decker on park n ride there not allowed not sure why they need them sometimes,

Back in the 90's when Park and Ride started (21 and 22 were the service numbers),they used atlanteans.
