Even so, I'd still brand it as Cross River- stick unused ones on the 423 at night when the PVR on the 487 reduces and put unused Streetlite(s) on the 2 in the day, freeing up unbranded Pulsars etc for Wirral only services. Even then the odd one will find its way onto the 410, 418 or whatever, but its not a frequent occurrence.
I think Arriva should definitely consider sticking any unused Streetlites on the 2 anyway once Stagecoach 'go gold', so that they stay at a competitive standard.

The service 2 jobs should be sapphire standard vehicles to keep up with the Standard that Stagecoach Gold vehicles will give to passengers.
Otherwise the standard of vehicles will become lob-sided towards Stagecoach.

It'd be great if that were to be the case, but sadly I doubt it would happen. I think Arriva would probably want a share of the 1 as well if they were to make that investment, but as far as I'm aware that's not possible with the McArthurGlenn saga?
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - R879 HRF - 23/08/2015 22:08
I thought they ordered 6 streetlites because the 487 was supposed to go every 20 minutes, or so it was said, therefore although it's pvr is 5 now, it will be 6 should this happen. Not heard anything about it in a while.
EDIT just checked, it is to stay at every 30 mins.

Yesterday afternoon when travelling on 2 gems on 437 noticed on the upper front seat on both
had been vandalised with a circular piece removed from the seats,had recently been done with
the cut out piece laying on the floor,makes you wonder if any more had been treated in this way

I was on one a few weeks ago and at least one of the windows had been etched and the seat back in front of me had also been vandalised. It's a shame that some small minded individuals find it acceptable to needlessly vandalise buses - I'm willing to bet that they wouldn't like it if somebody vandalised their property

Unfortunately most vehicles will suffer some form of vandalism , but we can not these mindless vandal's change bus companies operating practices .
The majority are law abiding passengers who enjoy the comfortable seating on those Gemini double deckers on the 437.
