I think the new destinations look better, than the old ones as they looked worse in my opinion although Southport seems to use the best font for there numbers and letters
Also its a lot better now that they display Queen Square rather than Liverpool, should be less confusing for some passengers between Walton and the city centre.
And I like the fact that they go from the bus station instead of Sir Thomas street. Although I don't understand why they stopped serving the Skem ASDA.

I agree with removing the service from Sir Thomas Street , to be honest most of the stands get fully bunged up with Cross River services there and at times i have seen the traffic struggle to get by the buses trying to get to there stops , so moving back into the bus station was a better idea for these services.

Exactly.
Also its probably one of the longest timed everyday services to Liverpool along with the X2/2X and it goes quite a distance.
Also I've noticed edge hill uni passengers on there sometimes so its much easier to get to Queen Square than looking for Sir Thomas Street if you don't know the city centre that well.

I do agree about the capital letters being randomly placed and on looking closer I think its the same old font as before.
But for some reason I prefer how it looks compared too before not sure why
I guess it just makes a change for once.

A driver told me Arriva have secured just one month's rent on the area. After that, who knows?
Get your final photos while there's still time....

Lets face it, this is only open whilst the rail replacement is on, so its nothing to get excited about is it.

A Gemini l B7TL did appear on the 60 yesterday , sadly at the time I was 4427 I was too slow to notice the fleet number
RE: Arriva North West - Bootle Depot - MPTE1955 - 21/02/2014 17:43
Bootle certainly have a VLW in use, just seen it on 61 Bootle bound turning into Eaton Road, I was a bit too far away to I.d which one. Bootle also have 3 of them in their yard although not in a service line so probably there for other reasons.
