In the depot and around the local area with an instructor on board if it's anything like the training that took place with the Solo SRs in St Helens. Not really anywhere else training would be likely to take place taking into account what has already been said. Pretty deductible in fact if what has been posted was read.

With the enviros when they arrived, drivers where shown around the bus and shown how everything on the dash works, what the warning lights mean etc in the depot, then went for a test drive out of Laird Street to the roundabout by argyle street and back. It usually either there, a quick run round the docks past happy als depot etc, or a run to bidston station and back - each are about the same distance!

On another note, 2435 is on the 464s today. Nice and quick, although the interior is a bit tatty.
