Posting on this thread due to the location the vehicles are at. Arriva (I believe the Merseyside division) have bought numerous examples of 18-reg ex-Preston Bus Streetlites from Bus & Coach World in Blackburn, some of them currently being repainted.

5 were delivered to Bus and Coach. They're getting painted and interior refurbishment in Arriva colours. I think they're for tendered services that currently have minibuses on them. They were bought from Preston, B&C World had capacity to do the refurb. They would normally be done in house at St Helens.
Bootle took delivery of the first three of six new Volvo MCV Evoras on Friday (15th) which are in LCR Metro livery but with standard Arriva interiors.

3233, 3234 & 3236 are the ones that arrived. They'll be used on all Bootle routes and, along with 9 second hand ones from Luton, they should see off virtually all the Pulsars from this depot.

What's the latest about the E200MMCS that are due to go to St. Helens to replace the Pulsars?

Thanks for this, but wasn't Friday actually the 16th?
