That and 2642/3 were Green Lane's best Pulsars when they were there

Hopefully it isn't a permanent transfer, since Bootle has took a beating since the loss of the TrawsCambria Commanders to become training buses and the Cadets going back to Wales. The only upside for Bootle was gaining several Centro's during this year from Runcorn but losing some of it's Pulsars in the process.
I can't imagine it being there to cover for 4511 whilst it is away from Birkenhead, but that is just an assumption as a Pulsar most certainly wouldn't cover a double deckers duties, let alone it being a hybrid!
Anyway, noticed the ghost of 2510 was tracking on the 60/61 again after around two and a half weeks of inactivity, wonder what is tracking off the ticket machine?

Two of Bootle's buses were damaged last night by yobs with hammers, shameful...

Can't work out which was vandalised, as I would assume they managed to repair the buses quickly, though looking at the images, one bus is a Pulsar or a Centro and the other was an Enviro 400.

Went past Hawthorne Road depot earlier and noticed that 4102(?) and 4103 are still there, have they been withdrawn or just not being used for the time being?
I can admit though, 4102/4103 has seen little use at Bootle, most likely due to lockdown, though the tax on them isn't due until May 2021.

I'm not sure if they have been withdrawn or not, MOT expiry on DVLA says 13 March 2022 on both, most likely due to the 6 month extension, which happened twice for both buses, most likely resting, NFS or maybe they are withdrawn.

If they are, then I'll have to have a look at some point in the coming weeks or months, unfortunately I do not live in Bootle but most of my family reside in the Sefton area, I'll have to try and have a look some day.
4110 is at Green Lane being used on services S26/S27, whilst Pulsars seem to work the S12/S13, Rock Ferry buses work the S18 usually and I sometimes encounter them, and Green Lane run the S68 as well but never seen one of them in-person.

They have been at Bootle before the school duplicates, they are used on Merseyrail Rail Replacement as required.

Any idea what bus is running from now-trainer 2506? It's tracking on the 61 today.

Looking at Bustimes apparantly 4631 was on some route called the ER1, what is ER1?
