I think she is as I saw it myself in Southport today but it wasn’t in service I saw the other B7TL 4101 on School Work

I would expect 4101 to still be in service, not sure 4214, was going towards Liverpool when I seen it with a driver and not a fitter.

The beast that is 4101 (best bus in Southport's fleet) was stretching it's legs on the 47 today. Had the privilige of captaining it to Liverpool and back. Wonderful!

The 2 grandfathers/ elder statesmen of Southport's fleet, 4101 and 4214, have been well earning their keep this week. 4101 on 47s Monday and Tuesday and 4214 putting a full shift in on 46s and 49s, 4101 on 46s today. And lasting onto lates as well. Best buses in our humble and reducing fleet.
Cadets 2493/5/7and 2629 are away at present.
2493 at Chester
2495 was at Bootle but now Speke
2497 at Speke for a replacement rear axle
2629 at Bootle for the latest phase of the Merseyrail project (for the new Class 777 trains) running between Bank and and Sandhills and back .
All 4 are now allocatated to the new Rail Pool which apparently consists of the 54 plate Cadets and 2629.

2608 is here as a paint float. 4578 is the first Enviro400 in the bodyshop for a repaint.

They are basically the same as a Cadet (VDL SB120 chassis) so not much type training will be needed if any.

It's not just about the driveline though

2500 has arrived here from the Rail Pool.
