4413 was out on N450 Friday night and N37 on Saturday, however broke down on the Saturday having overheated on the second trip.

Presumably had faults so was sent back to birkenhead for repair

Pulsar 2906 is the fourth addition to Birkenhead's steadily-expanding Pulsar range (on the 403/413 today). Can be identified as it has a black front-end Wright logo, whereas the three other 58-plated examples have silver logos.

Not been on 4522 yet myself so cant comment on that one, but 4512 isn't particularly good!

Whilst down on Merseyside today to see the ships from the Battle of the Atlantic commemoration leave the Mersey,I had rides on two buses,Arriva 4512 [a '13' reg] and Stagecoach 19054[ex Manchester].The latter sounded tons better than the former which was pretty grim for a new bus.

Yesterday noted:

4000 on 432
4421 on 432
4422 on 495

RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
It seems a waste having 4422 on the 495 , but makes sense if they are using an allocated rail replacement bus that can be changed over at any time .

The 492/5 is an anything that moves in the depot service .
