Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
the streetlites have been removed from the 487 due to reliability issues. the decision was made early last week by management after another breakdown. they have never been suited to the route at all. why they never get a demo before buying them i will never know. having pulsars back on the route is a massive relief for the drivers, they are far easier to get around Neston even though they are longer and wider. i would hope the passengers would start to see improvements in the service too as they are also easier to keep to time with.

the traffic calming measures in general are not too bad in any bus really. the smaller square ones you should be able to go right over if positioned correctly and the longer sausage type you just need to make sure you slow down properly. one or two on breeze hill are quite nasty though.
