RE: Arriva North West - Southport Depot
The 2 grandfathers/ elder statesmen of Southport's fleet, 4101 and 4214, have been well earning their keep this week. 4101 on 47s Monday and Tuesday and 4214 putting a full shift in on 46s and 49s, 4101 on 46s today. And lasting onto lates as well. Best buses in our humble and reducing fleet.

Cadets 2493/5/7and 2629 are away at present.

2493 at Chester
2495 was at Bootle but now Speke
2497 at Speke for a replacement rear axle
2629 at Bootle for the latest phase of the Merseyrail project (for the new Class 777 trains) running between Bank and and Sandhills and back .

All 4 are now allocatated to the new Rail Pool which apparently consists of the 54 plate Cadets and 2629.
