Some are being kept as spares in case of any breakdowns. I saw two Aintree Coachlines Ensignbus-liveried ALX400s. One of them had Helms address on the legal lettering. There was also an ALX400 of MP Travel running on the service. The Arriva bloke at Maghull Station told me some journeys are not calling at all stations. The stopping service to Sandhills does not stop outside Orrell Park station; intending passengers have to go to the bus stops on Walton Vale, just round the corner from the station.

Forgot to mention, Stagecoach are also providing buses. Saw two Enviro400s yesterday and today I have seen one plus two 68-reg MMCs. Sat on 11114 at Moorfields now.
