RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
In the fleet list, 2551 is shown as having a Cadet body. It is, in fact, a Commander


I know why you think its a Commander and i can tell you why while it was at Speke it had a crash and 2603 was of the road too with faults so they took the engin flap from 2603 and put it onto 2551. Since 2603 had problems and it was going to be off road for a long time it made sence to take it and when 2603 was going to retern to the road they put a new engin flap on it.

It can be a easy mistake to make but is a cadet.

Thanks for the explanation. When I saw it yesterday I spotted the Engine cover then noticed the body type when looking at the fleetlist today - hence my earlier post.
