[Archive] Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
Had one of my occasional visits to Birkrnhead yesterday mainly to catch up on the changes to First/Stagecoach. However on the Arriva front I noticed 6 Pulsars on the 2 ( 3002/03/05/09/10/11 - 3005 is back from Bolton ) whereas previous observations have shown only 5 LS workings on the Chester routes, all on the 2. It may be that one of these was a changeover but can anyone confirm the LS PVR for the 2?

Last time I visited Birkenhead, before Christmas, I saw none of the first batch of Pulsars on the 403/413. Yesterday there was 5, 3000/04/06/07/08. So they seem to be in part returning to the routes they were acquired for. No Pulsars on the 487 - 3001 in the depot?

Also in 3 visits since the mew batch of Pulsars entered service on the 410 I have seen the same 12 on the route, 3123-33/35. 3134 seeme to me to be a permanent absentee. However I did see it on the 471 yesterday. Just a coincidence that it seems to avoid the 410?
