Rather unfortunately, somebody has drawn conclusions too quickly and changed 3008's livery to the corporate livery, but at least they can revert it themselves.
EDIT: Apparently someone claims that it did receive work and refurbishment, but no mention on repaint.

Very surprised it hasn't been repainted into new fleet livery as it's down to have p+p due to being in old livery.

Possible that St Helens based vehicles are being prioritised at the moment.

It was involved in an RTC, has had a new front end and was supposed to be getting the full p+p, however hasn't happened and is back with a nice shiny original livery front.

Interesting, thanks for the info.

I don't think Laird Street's fleet have all been in the current corporate livery since the MTL livery was eliminated, some of the 09 plate pulsars haven't seen a coat of paint since they were built

You're not wrong there. I think it was last in 2008 they were all uniform until the CX58 Enviro400s arrived in the then new intrrurban livery. Then of course the following year 3000-3011 arrived in the wrong livery, ie cotswold stone. If I remember rightly a number of X plate cadets received the new livery around 2010/11, Palatine 3301 got it too but a few others transferred back from Liverpool, 3291 and 3275 being 2 of them but 275 didn't hang around. Of course the Geminis and ALX400s DAFs that replaced the palatines came in Interurban too. 7556 and a few of the P plate Dart SLFs got interurban repaints too.
Of Laird St's original Pulsars only 3001 3005 and 3011 got the "Interurban" livery.
Currently off the top of my head, 2903,2904,2957,2958,3003,3006,3007,3008,3009,3010 are still in Cotswold stone at Laird St.
I think we have 2530,2579,2599,2905,2907,2908,2953,2954,2955,3005,4107,6000,6001,6002,6003,6004,6005 still in Interurban.
2529,2543,2545,2548,2553,2601,2631,2633,2634,2906,2909,2956,3000,3004,4106 in the new livery.
All off the top of my head so probably missed something!

Thanks for that, I always forget about those even existing!

Woodside Canteen has closed today, meaning all duties now start/finish at Laird Street. All reliefs will be done via van at either Woodside, Duke St or New Brighton.
Atlantean 1003, Wallasey 6 and Birkenhead 10 all in attendance at the layover facility this afternoon to say farewell along with some former colleagues.
