RE: Arriva North West - Speke Depot
4116 is back in service following its repairs and refurbishment, looking resplendent on the 86 today. Its fleet numbers differ from the norm, left of centre on the rear and positioned alongside its left headlight on the front (like 4029). It didn't sound healthy however, having developed that awful roaring noise Southport's 4104 makes. A pity that it's lost its air blowing sound in favour of this racket. Front LEDs haven't been sorted either, but it certainly looks the part.

Beat me to it 507009 haha. Me and a Friend got off 6033 and had a talk to some of the drivers & customer service personnel 4116 was parked infront, looks immaculate but really does sound ill. Though I did hear it broke down on return to Speke, overall though the B7TLs are sounding a lot better even the odd standard liveried ones still sound in good nick Been hating Urban 90's since 2001

RE: Arriva North West - Speke Depot
not 100% sure if it was 4115 but there was a b7 with a very flat tyre just before Mackets Lane Shops. RNW Tyre Van was there attending to it. Later on That Day i saw the same Van on Woodend Ave with a Gemini again with a flat tyre |

RE: Arriva North West - Speke Depot
Did the builders at Speke leave a few nails on the floor? Seriously though thats the third one posted recently that's had a flat tyre, something some were is either just not right or damn unlucky. |

RE: Arriva North West - Speke Depot
4111 looked impressive on the 699 today , There is a nice new advert on one of the B7TL's , featuring a company called GHD I think , some of the advert has led type lighting looked pretty nice however I couldn't ID the vehicle at the time. Don't if anyone else knows or Has seen of it! Been hating Urban 90's since 2001
