RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
I'm sure only 4002 is fitted with a tachograph, and this has never been in use on the Mersey Ferries, however it has been used on other Private Hire duties. I would think that all the VLWs would need to stay as the MF contract does require around 4-5 buses at some points in the year. I don't think the Hybrids would be a good idea going up and down the M62, not sure on what the top speed is for these but I don't think it's as fast as the VLW's or the long gone Palatine's.
