Might explain why 2585 came to Birkenhead a few days before the deadline.

Remember the vehicles being under 15 years old rule isn’t enforced properly it’s only tenders that it’s properly enforced

Just to add the guideline for tendered routes is 15 years and 364 days so a bus can be used on these until the day before it reaches sixteen years old

4522 is the latest refurb.

Hi, has 2631 now been withdrawn from service please?


RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - N304CLV - 09/02/2022 20:08

Latest refurbs are 4518 and 4524.

Someone's incorrectly edited 4523 to denote it being in the new livery....it's still in the original livery, as spotted in West Kirby earlier today on the 437 perhaps people could only edit 'bustimes' if they've actually seen the change???

A good point but sometimes incorrect edits are genuine mistakes

Anyone can edit bustimes, its a regular problem for various operators on Merseyside.

Indeed. Sometimes buses track as the wrong vehicle, this can mean someone might presume a different vehicle operated the service from the one which actually did.

A lot of the time ticket machines are swapped so track incorrectly can never be 100% certain with tracking
