No news on that front, Laird St still only has a few refurbished buses and doesn't seem to be any rush in doing more.

The hybrids are still dropping like flies mechanically, and the parts contract with volvo finishes next month I think.

must be a quite a few hybrids off the road at the moment at least 3 pulsars on cross river services including 2 on 437 and one on 407/471.4106/7 were on 413/4

I had noticed a while ago that some of the hybrids when they go from electric into diesel mode where very rough in the changeover phase .

Very unusual to find one that still goes into electric only mode at all....

4106 was seen driving up Speke Road towards Woolton village this afternoon just after 15.00. Anyone know why?

There was a rail replacement bus service at some point during the afternoon , following someone being hit by a train in the Aigburth area.
