There seemed to be more Liverpool based buses on the cross river services today than Laird street ones,with at least 4 or more s/d's including 2956,2988,2906 and 2575.How many hybrids are needed for rail replacement or are a few off the road? Incidently 4509 was on 409 this afternoon also 2496 was on 418 Have Arriva got that many spare buses they don't need them in Liverpool?

I saw three rail replacements at Chester station today at the same time, is this really needed.
Trains are running to Bache through the day

The buses are still running through to Hooton though. Much easier to interchange between train and bus there whereas Bache is a bit of a hike due to the infamous low bridge.

There's a fair few enviro400s here, the hybrids are on rails and the enviros are on service work as I believe the allocator has been told to do this by management, possibly a request from Merseyrail? . The single decks on cross rivers yesterday are all Birkenheads own, 2496 keeps moving around depots as its a pool bus along with the other cadet which is currently here 2489? I think. Its unclear if 4102 is a permanent allocation or just a loan, 4103 was out yesterday and 4106 is awaiting parts.

4103 was on 492/5 yesterday

Arriva just provide the buses that Merseyrail ask for as per the contract, dont forget they may have a few buses parked up in a row which seems overkill but Merseyrail pay for a number of buses to sit around on standby all day for use incase of a breakdown or overcrowding, usually one (sometimes more) at each end of the route theyre running however not always the case, sometimes just one end. I think they have standbys at Hooton and Chester this time around.

4106 was out and about today on 437 first time I've seen it for ages.Obsolutely they've sorted it problems out
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - N304CLV - 15/11/2019 19:16
2629 is here out on 410 this evening.
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - bus401 - 16/11/2019 00:42
couldn't keep away,was allocated here a couple of years ago before moving to Southport. 2529 was on 437 this afternoon along side 4103 and at least 2 pulsars.
