Most can be found on the 121/215, 135/235 and the 139

None of those Solos are based at Moreton but Moreton's buses are sent to Aintree regularly for maintenance so a replacement from Aintree goes the other way temporarily. To my knowledge, MJO was at Moreton a few weeks ago.

Is Arriva running an open top service in Southport this year, and if so, what vehicle is being used?

As far as I know like the past 2 years the MTT Operate A free Southport Tour Route 25 with GKA 449L and OLV 551M cant see it being any different this year but who knows

With the new streamlined 47 service about to launch Arriva would be wise to move the 10 plate Pulsars to the local routes to replace the aged Darts and purchase new stock with all the bells and whistles for the 47 to compete with the X2. Comfy leather seats and wifi is the way forward for the long distance routes. My humble opinion anyway!

4064, 4090, 4097, 4103 and 2727 are all on the 43/46 today!
