RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
it is 4000 with fire as my mate (same one as already mentioned) is using a photo of that to re-created the blue bus livery on a model, also know 4001 did hit someone in bolton leaving him with life long scar, looks to me like these buses have been in the wars!

4001 currently broken down by the Arrowe Park Hotel, with what looks like water issues

The current warmer weather will take some casualties with it .

I wonder how the hybrids are performing in this warmer weather.

A friend of mine spotted a mini dart on Seaview Road this eve on a 432!

I wonder if this mini Dart is the same MPD I saw attempting to leave Liverpool yesterday evening about 17:00, it was an ex Winsford one with the Air-Con Pod on top.

I say attempting to leave due to the fact that Crosshall Street is currently closed at the moment with buses on diversion heading towards Dale Street and it looked a tad busy on diversion route last night

As far as I know gaining access is difficult however phoning up wont hurt! Im not sure if anybody has had any luck getting in just by turning up and asking, worth a shot though i suppose!

I was in Birkenhead on Sunday morning & went into the depot & asked permission. That permission was granted by an extremely friendly chap at reception (thanks to you if you read this forum). He said that was fine to do & just asked me to stay between the pedestrian lines & not to go into the workshop / garage. There were approx 70 buses in the yard.

Don't think you should advertise this incase it gets someone in trouble

I did ask 'Admin' if it was alright to post before I posted it here & was given their permission.
