RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
We could all just thank sth77 for pointing us in the right direction for an up to date list containing fleet numbers, reg's and depot allocations posted by Arriva themselves instead of shooting him down, it just makes the forum feel a less pleasant place to be!

Its particularly useful to those like myself who havnt been paying attention to the hybrids and are unsure whats going where - plus as its from arriva themselves i'd say its pretty reliable and can clear up any confusion anybody has. Thank you sth77!

On another note, i've managed to sample a section of the re-routed 487 this week. When I say a section, I mean I got on at one of the new stops on Breezehill road toward Liverpool. The first day I got it, which was monday, it was the 15.12 service from Brook Street - I was the only passenger to board on the extension and the driver was complaining about the traffic and how difficult it is to get a bus on that difficult right then imediate left turn from Bendee road onto Hinderton then onto Breezehill. He said its bad enough during the day, however as Neston High School finishes at 3pm the amount of cars in the area meant it was extremely difficult to get a bus down there, and it was only 2423 so god help him if he had a pulsar! While pulling out from Breezehill road onto Raby Park road the driver couldnt turn left due to parked cars on the corner, so had to attempt a 3 point turn. The school time traffic didnt allow this however so the driver had to ask some residents to move their cars.. sounds like the union might have something to say about it in the near future!
