Certainly is a bit of a mess. I hope the driver is well and safe after that. My thoughts are with them.

Bus is now at Jackson St, so the body shop team should get to work on it soon.

Apparently 8 Enviro400s are due here from Chester, with 8 Pulsars to head the opposite way from what I've been told, if so do we know what is due to be coming and going from both depots?

There were talks about the Chester Enviro400s going from there to Liverpool since ages ago, at current there going to start repainting them out of the Sapphire livery with one done and the other is away getting done once there all done into journey mark livery's they can transfer them on from Chester, if that makes any sense?

Does anyone know what is wrong with 6006? It hasn't tracked for 7 weeks.
Also is 3168 getting repaired or is it written off?

I spotted three of the Southport-bound Enviro400s from Chester passing junction one of the M53 at 12.50, heading for the Kingsway Tunnel en route to their new home. The first two were in Sapphire livery and the third in the current light blue colours. Seemingly this was the end of the convoy as six are reportedly on their way today.

Presumably these are for the 47 route which will finally receive an upgrade? Quite the contrast in seating quality between bus and train going forward if so.

Until these arrived the 47 was the poor relation of Liverpool - Southport bus travel .

Does anybody know why Streetlite 6006 has been off the road for 6 or 7 weeks?


RE: Arriva North West - Southport Depot - MTL0201 - 27/06/2024 03:15

I always thought the Enviro400 Sapphires were wasted on the 10/10A Chester-Connahs Quay/Flint, they were more suited to the 11 group of routes, [yes i know that operates out of Rhyl depot], & more far more suited to the 47, & 375/385 knowing they will stray onto those routes.
