Arriva North West - Southport Depot
RE: Arriva North West - Southport Depot
Special buses for route 27 from the railway station to the Southport Flower Show today were Pulsars 2991 3082 and 3090.
Speke Depot provided Commanders 2579 2581 2583 and 2593 for the Birkdale Park and Ride as has been the case for a number of years. However as the Commanders will not be at Speke in twelve months I wonder what will be on the service next year?

All time rail mileage travelled 327264 miles

3036 was towed into CR today after a collision with a car in Hillside Village. Bus had quite bad damage and I hope that there was no one in the passenger side of the car as it was pushed right in. Hope all ok!

...Whilst 2726 (Y726 KNF) B10BLE/Renown is making a rare appearance on the 300 this afternoon!

Surely time is running-out for these 10-litre 16-year old Volvos?

The last time I saw a Renown on the 300 was mid-December.

More often than not they're operated by those "Southport Links" Pulsars.
