However, these do seem a bit old fashioned compared to the Vlw's. Incidentally 4176 is also on 81 today.

From my limited experiences of the DLPs I agree that they're quite good buses with good ride quality and passenger comfort. I'm just wondering what 4176 and 4181 are replacing at Speke as I had assumed that 4182 was the replacement for 2639. Perhaps they could be displacing two Commanders to St Helens with 2701/2 now being converted to driver trainers?
