So far today, four of the Manchester hybrids (12227, 12231, 12251 & 12256) seen, plus 10534 & 10540 on the P&R from by 'Pleasureland', additionally, 10550 was in Liverpool this morning in normal service, fitted with the adverts for 'The Open so would assume it's one planned to be used over the next few days. Currently walking towards Hillside so there may be more in a bit if the other P&R are in operation.

More P&R in operation at Hillside end, various MMCs noted, 10538/9/41/42 on a couple of routes, plus Preston 15823 and PE13LSL noted on the Carr Lane route....
Presume the vehicle count will increase from tomorrow?

Perhaps it might only be running when the main tournament is on, today being the first 'proper' day.......just looking at my pics from yesterday, PR1/2 was the Eco Centre/Princess Park and the PR4 is the Bedford Park route. The Carr Lane Scania's destos didn't show......
