My vision of Liverpool free of Arriva buses was not to be as the dispute had evidently just been settled. However, I saw 2 Volvo B5LHs on routes 26 & 27 together in place of BYD single-deckers.

I have been wondering whether to come to Liverpool one Bank Holiday this year. However, if routes 26 & 27 are all Volvo B5LHs instead of BYDs on Sundays & Bank Holidays I shall knock the idea on the head.

The hybrids are in addition to the BYDs to make up the PVR rather than to replace any which are taken out of service for whatever reason. Previously there were diesel deckers on the route when there were enough spare but now it's been converted to a Go Green route the Volvos are used on the 26/27 circulars instead (again - if enough are available)

EDIT: It should be BYDs on a Sunday if you're looking to come to Liverpool then - although if there's a match on at Anfield expect there to be a few deckers on there
