I gather 4170 is here as well. It broke down on Victoria Street this afternoon on Stand VB.

The Streetlites are apparently to be put into service tomorrow, keep a look out.

I have two trips both on 6000 while coming to and from Ness Gardens , the drivers do seem to be a bit heavy on the brakes , but being new you could expect that until they bed in and get used to them.

Overall reaction from the few people who have been on the buses this morning is very favourable , i am sure the opinion formers the commuters will be impressed as well.

I don't like the look of these; the livery doesn't suit them. Would have been good to have a more cross-river brand-focused livery. That's just my thoughts though. Either way, the look doesn't impact the way they work- it's great to see more new vehicles roaming around Merseyside. Better still, it's a break from the monotony of Pulsars and Enviro 400s!

Got to say the nearside branding is virtually non-existant!

You must have spent a while in Thornton Hough to get all those shots - Seven Stars?

Even though I live in Neston, I'm stuck in India for work at the moment, and unfortunately I won't be able to sample them until the Bank Holiday weekend. So really appreciate the photos!

Was only there from 1100-1215ish, warm and sunny too so didn't mind hanging around for a bit. Took a couple of the shots from the war memorial opposite the Seven Stars, glad you like the shots :-)

Cheers
