Now then...

7547 is moving to Wrexham, 7635 - 7642 to go to Manchester, 7557 no longer in the 'fleet', it was towed in last night at 4ish by RNW.

7547 likely a replacement for the R-ABA at Wrexham that's been VOR for some time requiring a new engine.

Thanks for that update though! Made up that we won't have to endure more Marshalls here at St Helens! Lol

Poor sods 7547 is a heap should have sent 7558

So 7558 is the last active LS one thought it might be a proper LS one eg 7547, 7551, 7554, 7556 or 7557

Any news when 2344, 2345 will go

RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
7558 is likely to be here as it is a Wayfarer 200 bus, so is being used to train drivers on the new ticket machines or covering for buses receiving the modifications.

If someone knew when 2344/5 would go, THEY WOULD POST IT!
