Couldn't get close enough to check the fleetnumbers, but -needless to say- they STILL have the white 'CROSSRIVEREXPRESS' branding (with yellow top arc) along their flanks and across their upper deck screens.
Managed to photograph unbranded 4419 and branded 4401 in Bootle depot today - 4419 was displaying a destination for the 62!

4400 (still with its back-end advertisement) was also present in the depot, alongside another unbranded and branded example.

They've only just became available, so these so-called promises from management were rather hasty and premature.

No word of a lie - in my dream last night was 4400 on the 58 on Park Lane in Netherton! Strange or what... Laugh

Even stranger, is the fact your dream could come true!

By the way, these Trident/Enviro400 deckers were promised to Bootle as far back as December '12.
I know this to be true as a good mate of mine gets accurate information from the depot as he works thereWink

Anyway, I'm looking forwards to riding these ex-Wirral deckers, they'll make a nice change from the DLAs which really are knackered nowSmile

I don't doubt your information in any way, shape or form, but it just seems that management may have had a mix-up because the Enviro400s couldn't have really been released any earlier. But, at the end of the day, they're here now and I'm sure that they'll bed-in nicely at Bootle with their younger sisters.

Wonder if they'll be used on the Aintree shuttles tomorrow, Friday and Saturday... If so, probably about as close as they'll get to Park Lane! LOL

4419 looks much smarter without the Cross River branding.

I wonder how long it will be when the enter service before they find their way onto 311s like many of Bootles fleet has done in the past

RE: Arriva North West - Bootle Depot - M113 YKC - 04/04/2013 21:10

DAF/ALX400 4090 was unusually on the 345 today:

Me and a friend had 4417 on the 311 yesterday and it wasn't a bad ride apart from it was a bit sluggish.

4029 is back at Bootle and on the 52/52A today.
