Notice 4491/2 the 2 plated ones still not given their proper numbers yet

What's wrong with the number of 4492? They only need to renumber 4491 onto the end of the batch; much less of a hassle than renumbering every bus that comes through to the next fleetnumber along.

Maybe its just me liking the idea of the two depots having consecutive numbered buses

The decker hybrids should have been given a new number series eg 45xx then this mistake
would not have happened,the Runcorn hybrids start at 50xx and not 3147

45xx would have been to close to the existing range maybe in the 48xx , which would have given room if any normal non hybrid vehicles had been ordered in the meantime .

Would have made more sense to have gone for a London style numbering approach for the hybrids as they arnt standard buses.

H449** would make sense to separate them from the standard fleet or somthing along those lines.

RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
2447 has just been taken off 487s at Clatterbridge and replaced with 3006.

Speaking of cadets... is there any news on 2439? Not heard about that since it got moved over the pits from by the steam clean a few weeks ago
