I know some people detest them but i think the ELC myllennium's have done well to last this long.
Will the pulsar's and commanders ride be any better at there age i wonder , time will tell.

I agree - they're nearly 16 years old and it'll be a shame to see them and the Renowns go but these things happen I suppose. I'll admit I wasn't keen on the Myllenniums at first but they definitely grew on me as time went on - but they've definitely been the buses you either love or hate

Although the Myllenniums are being withdrawn here, I'm told they will go on to see further service elsewhere in the North West, how many I cant say, but it isnt the end of the road for them yet. I personally dont think they are as bad as everyone thinks, but theres no accounting for taste I suppose!

That is highly doubtful given their age and the extensive cascade program that is shortly about to occur.

Surprised to catch 2457 on the 414 today, thought all the Birkenhead Myllennium's are withdrawn by now.
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - T42 PVM - 01/03/2017 14:29
Nothing has gone there to replace them

Given what's happened at lime st, I'd expect them to stay for another week
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - N301 CKB - 01/03/2017 15:50
2455 also still going strong on the 409 today
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - N301 CKB - 01/03/2017 19:18
Laird Street have at least 4 Cadets here now for the moment anyway - 2502 2515 2516 2545. Commander 2602 was also seen in the depot.
As said above the Myllenniums seem to be extending their stay even longer with 2455 (409) 2456 (492) 2457 (414) 2460 (410) all seen today, also still in use was 2713 and 4481 is also still here not sure if the other 2 Rhyl Geminis are still around or not. The new Hybrids seem to be getting used on the 464 Mon-Fri.
2453/2465 and another Myllennium are withdrawn.
