Thanks MM for the latest list,always interesting to see what's in the repair centre.Does anyone know how Arriva decide what to P+P because they don't appear to follow any pattern.For instance Laird Street had nothing done for months but other depots seem to have regular vehicles getting done.Thanks.

Agreed - thanks MM

I'd say it's been at least a year since either Birkenhead or Green Lane (4661 this time last year) have had anything P&Ped. St Helens are certainly due some though and it makes a change from Bootle and the Welsh garages getting the lion's share of repaints and refurbishments

No probs , I've been told that both birkenhead and st Helen's are there priority at the minute as they are doing the ones in the oldest livery which both these depots have the most vehicles still in it.

Yeah ,as far as I'm aware of theres a list of what's been done so far :

2960 , 2964 , 725 , 2981 , 2967 , 2674 , 2697 , 2969 , 2949 , 2984
2902 , 2964 , 680 , 715 , 2974 , 2900 , 2963 , 2987 , 3013 , 4440 ,
4437 , 4441 , 4443 , 4600 , 4436 , 4438 , 4414.


Then there are the 5 that's in the paint and body shop :
2940 , 2693 , 2968 , 2691 , 2690.

St Helen's had 25 in the oldest colours which I've been told they want to try and get painted before christmas along with birkenhead .

How come 3139 is withdrawn? Was it involved in an RTA? Cheers
