With the introduction of the evening 300/310 are these operated by Bootle or Southport given they interwork?

I think Bootle operates the evening services. The Pulsars I have seen on them have two-way radio equipment and, AFAIK, Southport depot doesn't have said equipment.

Bootle operate the evening 300/310 service, plus the Sunday morning short 300 journeys too.

Thank you for the photo. Mind you, it does look bland without even the upward stripes yet alone any logos.

Isn't route 52a usually Enviro 400 or at least double-deck?

Usually half single/half double these days, even on Sundays!

The 55 ahead of it was a single-decker and left Sir Thomas Street with a standing load. Oddly the last 58A at 23.37 was an E 400.
