Out on loan at present (that I can think of) are 2583, 2594 and 2606

I would be very surprised if any double deckers - especially the 55/06-reg Volvo B7TLs - left Speke

What are these Hybrids that were mentioned? Are they some of the Bolton bunch or new ones?

Brand new ones. 51 are on order - roughly half and half for Green Lane and Speke

I have been told that the Speke batch are for the 79. Is this true?

I believe that's the case yes

Ahh cool! So are they due this year or on 17 plates in the Spring?

I don't know unfortunately - but I don't believe they'll be arriving until the new year at the earliest. I'll see if I can find out

Cool! I thought Arriva Merseyside had finished with their investment for now, especially considering that most of Speke is either 2011 Gemini's or new Enviro 400s

Dont forget other Merseyside Depots still have X/Y Reg Buses in service, these new Buses at Green Lane and Speke will cascade Buses to finish them off
