When I've been heading past their Ince Blundell depot, theres a Sprinter parked on the land, so not sure if its one of Arrivas or it came from elsewhere... I know they got some ALX400s from Arriva in 2023 before the majority went to Aintree Coachlines when they gained the contract for Holy Family services.
1027 has recently been sold due to accident damage that occurred in summer 2024. Ex Watford Ac013 now 1041 replaced it. It might be that one!

Correct, it was that one indeed as I noticed an edit on Bustimes regarding it being sold recently.

It was taken off a 9 today and swapped with a Streetlite which was then swapped onto the Formbys so a Mellor 4707 could go to Green Lane. 4707 then spotted around Speke for route learning on the 211 that starts Monday. Green Lane 4701 and 4702 were not yet ready for service.
I’ve heard the Mellors are not suitable for the 211 due to grounding on speed bumps on parts of the estate so Monday the Click minibuses will operate the 211 until further notice.

Ex-Click 1039 operating the first day of service on the 211 today. First impressions are they are too small considering the length of the route and do not have enough step-free space for all the potential trolley passengers. I understand the Click sprinters weren’t intended to be used, so wonder what will end up being used once something is sorted? Was half expecting it to be operated out of Speke with a Streetlite.

The sprinters have coped fine for 5 years with the passengers and the trollies. The route is in 3 sections so the passenger numbers might be suitable but they did plan on putting Mellors onto the service. It would suit Optare Solos and some ex Yorkshire ones are being moved onto North West. The same Green Lane drivers are operating the route together with the 201 and Clatterbridge shuttle so there was no reason to move it to Speke.

4707 has returned to Southport today with 3016 coming back to Green Lane. Hybrid 4802 has gone for its repaint.

4843 back out and in its striking new Eco livery, 2 things though, for starters the green at the top front hasn't been painted and reminiscence of the old "Free WiFi & USB" lettering is still there, another thing, the plate on the back is BW66GZR for some reason, must have been a mistake in the body shop because 4843 is BW66GZK

Green on the roof was missed. Being sorted soon. Reg plate was being sorted today.
