2990 now in service here seen on 46 and 2993 has left for Birkenhead, not sure why they've swapped.

2993 was unable to remain in Southport due to operational reasons. Therefore a like for like swap was arranged.

Was 2993 the bus involved in the fatality a couple of weeks back? If so then its understandable.

this seems the usual routine after a fatality either a rereg or transfer you only have to look at the Stagecoach driver that was killed by the Eclipse that got transferred to Chester
i think some of the Ikarus's got reregistered because of Fatalities??

If your on about the Ikarus that killed the woman at Platt Bridge it had its Fleetnumber changed from 2561 to 2559 and was Withdrawn a couple of Months later

Oddly, when I was involved in a fatal RTC whilst in service the operations manager flatly refused to transfer the bus I was driving out of the depot despite my request. He cited differences in fare-collection equipment and assault screens as the reason, but I'd imagine that it's only a matter of a couple of hour's work to adapt these to another depot's requirements.
Seeing the bus reguarly once I returned to work did not help my mental recovery and probably contributed to my leaving Arriva about four months later.
I'm now back at the same garage and regularly drive the route on which the RTC occurred. I'm not religious in any way, but whenever I pass the spot at which the collision happened, I always have a little 'think' about the lady who lost her life.
My thoughts are with the family of the lady killed in the recent accident, and also with my colleague and friend.
