4106 was out yesterday, 4103 was in the depot. There doesn't seem to be much of a shortage lately so they've not been needed.

Possibly, there's a few scrappers down the end of the yard

Couple of Pulsars on the 432/433/437 & 407/471/472, which wasc irritating as i passed Laird Street depot on the 437, there was a few hybrids set up waiting for service.

They had been swapping between hybrids and pulsars due to late running, rather than drop mileage they had drivers taking buses out and starting new trips on time. The hybrids will have been out previously, then covered by a pulsar while another driver came in for a break late, then back out again later on. Oddly efficient for once!

If you didnt do that then at some point , you would end up with a route with all the buses possibly at one end of the route and thats no use for passengers who need to be at somewhere in a reasonable timeframe .
Liverpool was manic yesterday and probably the same today as well now.

I see, roadworks in Liverpool City Centre don't help things, can be a nightmare at times

Are 2512 and 2513 still here? It’s been reported elsewhere that they are to be converted into trainers.

Yes, they are both stored at Runcorn. 2512 was in use on the Busway Circulars on 31/05.
