Apparently, as odd as it sounds, it's been replaced by a withdrawn cadet from Bolton, 2527 rings a bell.

I imagine LS has more space to store withdrawn buses than Bolton as space is at a premium there especially with Vantage being there. 2527 was withdrawn apparently due to poor chassis condition.

2 more B7TLs have arrived, presumably on loan. 4109 and another I think 4112. The latter has been on 432/3/7s today.

4200 and 4201 have been saved from Barnsley and are now preserved!

Yes seen that on FB, knew 4200 was, looks like 4201 was saved direct from Barnsley.

Almost came in with a Unai Emery good ebening then, but that's off topic way too much.


Interesting, nice to see them saved. Always thought 4200 should've been preserved tbh.

423 has been on diversion the last few nights, as Reeds Lane has been closed between Leasowe Station & Hoylake Road, & just noticed the new blinds that now show
bus on diversion
ask driver
then back to number & destination.
