8 are heading Wrexham's way in January to displace the remaining Pulsars and DLAs if the current plan plays out.

Cheers for that Reece, so it's not really concrete who are getting the 10 which aren't for Speke?

By "we", I refer to Speke. Green Lane were definitely expecting deckers earlier in the year, but I'm not aware or current developments. Little interest in GL depot, I'm afraid.

I've heard differently as regards Wrexham. Enviros were not on the cards as of June.

RE: Arriva North West - Speke Depot
Oh right apologies for the confusion, yes I know Speke have been due some Enviros for some time for the 81/A I think.

The 10 are for Speke still as far as we know, the GL ones are supposed going elsewhere though, with 4401/4402 staying across the river

They've done a stunning job with the interior, repainting and renewing where appropriate the seat backs and panels, and of course, blue blocks moquette. It looked as good as new, in fact arguably even better than when the B7s were new as the moquette and new seat back colour are an improvement over what was there before. The ride was, as usual from the ANW decker kings, exemplary.

I seen 4113 today and I agree - it appears to have been "P&P'd" fantastically! It was unusually on the 78 yesterday:

Nice to see deckers on the 78 again, albeit only on this one occasion.

Had the delights of 4110 today and this is just as nice as 4113. The interior near the front upstairs arguably looks even better as the two colour approach is retained. Usual high standards elsewhere and these interiors really suit the 'blue blocks' moquette perfectly.

Another B7 with an overall Vodafone advert is 4128 - again the internal advertisements are all Vodafone as well. Can't say I'm a fan of the look at all.

4113 was also on the 79 today while 4111 appeared on the 699.
