The conditions inside the depot itself however arnt brilliant - very snowy around the edges and the back half of the yard was pretty much a lake on friday night. A few hybrids on the pits last night being branded up. Notice up in the depot, hybrids are due out tomorrow but only enough to cover the 437/432/433s - the proper launch is postponed until the rest of the hybrids actually arrive. R557 ABA is correct, the enviros will be working alongside the hybrids to cover the 407/71/72/64 seeing as the hybrids are only going on the 437/2/3 for now. Arriva dont want the odd one on other cross river routes, they want to wait until theyre all here so they can have the whole route covered with them rather than the odd one here and there.

4000 was on the 437 but has overheated in Bidston. Currently using the free WiFi too which was a doddle to connect to and use. |

RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
Been told 3 of the hybrids have broken down/had issues today, which isnt too bad considering! 4001 and 4141 on the 419. Nice to see the 464 decker operated again too - 4205 along with an enviro and a DLAon them. I am no longer active on this forum. |

RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
I'm sure I'll get used to it, but for now, I find it rather disconcerting when the diesel cuts out on the hybrids. Otherwise not an unpleasant experience. |
