RE: Arriva North West - Speke Depot
Certainly 7651-7656 have spent a considerable proportion of their life based at Southport depot, I believe merely 3 months after delivery to Green Lane (could be incorrect here, however). A number of this small proportion of the batch, notably the sister pair of 7654 and 7655, are excellent even today and comparable with vehicles half their age. The levels of originality, bar the addition of the Blue Blocks moquette upon receipt of P&P, are second to none. Its pleasing to see the vast majority of the remaining serviceable allocation are on Southports books, where it is clear their long-established examples (above quoted examples) are in superior condition. A credit to the people who work on these vehicle on a day to day basis and have done since their arrival.
