As a youngster I used to wonder why buses used to have 'Jenny' chalked on the cab window. Clearly, it's still an issue

There was quite a sight this evening coming through the Queensway from Liverpool, as 6 new Hybrids were in a row, followed by 3x old hybrids on normal services, followed by 2 of Stagecoach's Cambridge Deckers on the X8 and 2. All were completely full except the two new Hybrids which were out of service.
Also, can anyone shed light on the meaning of BC DEPU ? Or whatever the rails buses sometimes display?

I would of thought the BC DEPU would be Birkenhead Central Duplicate for the spare buses to use when they are required

B N DUPE = Birkenhead north duplicate/extra bus
B C DUPE = Birkenhead central duplicate/extra bus

Yesterday about 1610 there was a spare bus at moorfields and four on St Johns Lane ready to put into service if one of the normal buses arrived full.

At 15:00 there should be at least 5/6 buses on lime st to serve as dupes and 5/6 buses on exchange st to serve moorfeilds stn as dupes as and when needed.

From what I gather, so far, the organisation of the rail replacements has been excellent. I think the real test will be next Monday when all the schools and colleges are back along with the workers who have taken an extended Christmas holiday.
