4207? 4507 is a Cross River Hybrid.

Yeah sorry typo I meant 4207.

Thanks for confirming mm, thought it was a replacement for 4016 as this has been reverse parked on the front fence since Friday.

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
I think the solo sr ev is still in use but it only operates the first 2 trips on the 920.

4207 is ex-VLW46, Arriva London North, Wood Green depot machine. It'll never look the same in blue :-(

Hope she enjoys her retirement ' up north ' anyway.

You beat me to in saying it is ex VLW46, shame both will be generally just for schools. Here's hoping that they manage to end up on 33 shorts from time to time like 4014/16 have.

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot

Do deckers only go on short 33? & do they get used on weekends

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
Never see them on a weekend as they have enough spare buses as they get used on short 33 due to it fitting in with the school duties.
