I wonder how useful the installation of the two-way radios at Birkenhead has been to warn drivers of potential trouble and diversions. They must be going well as st helens are due to be fitted out with them early 2017. |

RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
They do seem to be doing well, Birkenhead depot have had quite a few problems with windows being broken over the past month on quite a few different routes. On some occasions when the driver contacts the depot, all buses on that route are diverted with one announcement on the radio. This has happened on the 423 a few times and also the 407/418/9/118/9. Also very good for traffic jams and roadworks/incidents. |

I didn't know where to post this but a bout an hour ago there was a brand new London Wright Gemini 3 on the back of a lorry heading away from Twelve Quays, the bus itself didn't have a reg nor any logos so weren't sure whether it's an Arriva one or not Follow me on flickr |

1 January 2017 432/433 New Brighton - Liverpool Monday to Friday daytime frequency increased to every 15 minutes per route due to the Merseyrail Wirral loop line track renewal. The times have changed. 437 West Kirby - Liverpool Frequency is increased to every 7 or 8 minutes during Monday to Friday daytimes due to the Merseyrail Wirral loop line track renewal. The times have changed. My Flickr site http://www.flickr.com/photos/31135444@N02/ |

I do wonder whether these service enhancements will continue after the end of the track renewal work. |
