Any suggestions?


It has already been said by myself a few times that either 16 -20 NEW Enviro 400s are on the way, OR B7TLs from Speke. The second is a runour.

Which of the two is the most likely though , to be honest does Speke need new double deckers really.

Might be a mix of the two

Nat Ex and Stagecoach now seem to prefer the MMC model and I do wonder when Arriva will see its first deliveries. I suppose it depends on when ADL withdraw the standard (cheaper) option.

I wonder what routes they will be used on

I find it so silly that the VLWs and Presidents are always on the 418/419, surely the likes of the 413/414, which are ran by smaller buses like pulsars and those few cadets, could do with a capacity boost with them deckers instead.

3127 was leaving Sir Thomas Street at 17.30 on a 432 this evening. Tin of sardines came to mind.

2515 has now entered service and is on 409 today.

A right mixed bag of allocations today 4202 and 4172 on 437,4515 on 2,3047 on 418/9,4529 on492/5.

Single decker is best suited to the 418/9 service.

Always thought double deckers on this route was a bit overkill.
