Arriva North West and Wales

[Y961 XBU]

I imagine it'll be withdrawn on the 24th when they pull off the 8.

Whats the PVR of the 8 as 2272 is also due for Withdrawal aswell
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
2272 has already left the Winsford Fleet

Dennis Dart SLF's 2212, 2213, 2214, 2237, 2254 and ALX 200 2269 have all left St Helens for Scrap

The PVR would only be 2, one as a spare.

Shame, that ALX200 was quite nice.

Presumably withdrawn last night as it was in service on the 492 yesterday morning.

With 2447 having gone to that great big depot in the sky, operating on the 8 this morning is 4477. Probably the first decker I've seen on this route.

Waste of a bus! Couldn't they have let 2447 play just for a bit longer seeing as the service ends in 2 days time?

 

[childwallblues]

I note from another website that 4476 4477 and 4478 have all transferred from Speke to Winsford. Any replacements at Speke for these?
2500 has transferred from Winsford to Runcorn.
4182 was on the 79 yesterday morning,

 

[Y961 XBU]

turns of Birkenheads 2432 is still in Service, the report of it being SORN on another forum must of been in-correct, i have a feeling 2500 is only on loan to Runcorn but i do expect a couple of the displaced Cadets from Winsford to end up at St Helens as replacement for the final 2 Darts

 

[childwallblues]

4176 was on the 79 yesterday.

 

[Y961 XBU]

St Helens based Dart 2236 could be Withdrawn after breaking down the other day and has been been in Service or on the pits since, if so this leaves just 2211 in Service out of the entire X reg Dart batch!

I've had gen that it's already gone, awful seats but overall a great bus! Not going to lie, I'll really miss this one. I've still not got over 1212 being sent for scrap; I was only about 6 too!

Just found out its dead on the back wall of the Depot, Engines given up on it so its been Withdrawn, This leaves 2211 as the only Dart left and is out today on the 36/36A, Glad to see the back of 2236 as that was an utter shed
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Also forgot to mention that DLPs 4169 and 4178 are out on the 10/10A today!
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Over to Bolton Depot and all the MAN Mylleniums have been fitted with W-FI and will be mainly used on the 534 Service (Bolton - Oldhams Estate)
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Tomoz should be the final day an X reg Dart gets out with Arriva North West as 2211 is not DDA since it has no side or rear dests.

 

[childwallblues]

4173 was on the 407 yesterday morning.

 

[childwallblues]

B7TL 4124 4115 and 4182 were all on the 79 this afternoon.

 

[Y961 XBU]

Arriva Bolton update:

MPDs 890, 891 and 893 are Withdrawn with 892 due off next month

715 will be withdrawn from 24th July

They have lost the oasis Contract so that could free up 2 more DLPs to go elsewhere

Recent fleet movements I've observed are 2599, 2601 and 2602 moving to Green Lane, with 2606 reported as being on loan to Birkenhead. A report on another website says 2601 and 2602 (previously used on express route 500 from Liverpool One to Liverpool Airport) are permanent transfers to Green Lane, but there was no mention of whether 2599 is a loan or another permanent transfer.

 

[Y961 XBU]

I was under the impression the Commanders where to go Birkenhead to replace their Mylleniums and Green Lane are getting Enviro 400s that would replace their Mylleniums and also displace Pulsars to St Helens to replace the Renowns

There were 30 Commanders at Speke before the transfer out of 2601 and 2602. I assume that Speke will retain most of these until the arrival of further new double deckers.

Green Lane is still receiving double deckers to replace the DAFs and some of the VDLs, but I don't know when I'm afraid.

Three buses, 4204 (Birkenhead), 4412 (Green Lane) and 4438 (Speke), have been painted into special liveries for the Liverpool Biennial.

 

[Statto]

Amongst the changes in September are a night route on 86A.

 

[0B00]

New Open Top service 3T from Pwllheli to Porthmadog is now up and running 7 days a week until September. That said it was a Y reg closed top DD today !

 

[childwallblues]

On route 27 today from the railway station today were Southport Pulsars 2991 3082 and 3090.
On the Birkdale Park and Ride were Speke VDL Commanders 2579 2581 2583 and 2593.

 

[sonic2009]

Does anyone happen to know if Winsford's Centro's are going off for refurb? I heard that that were a while back but heard nothing of late or seen any that have been.

 

[Y961 XBU]

Arriva Bolton are losing their Hybrid Geminis to Birkenhead and getting Pulsars in their place

4495, 4496, 4497 & 4499 already known to be at Birkenhead, with 3130, 3131 & 3132 making the opposite move to Bolton.

HTH

 

[childwallblues]

This will obviously see the end of the use of ex London Presidents and Geminis on Cross River route 464. What now for Liverpool Biennial bus 4204?

 

[Y961 XBU]

Arriva's new 24/7 86A from Liverpool - Liverpool Airport starts on Sunday! I still wonder if other night services will be added if this one works

I assume that you will see them in service on the Wirral.

 

[childwallblues]

Route 500 City Centre-John Lennon Airport is now diverted via Liverpool South Parkway and operated by three re-liveried Geminis 4444 4477 and 4478.
