I don't know why the Union is dragged into this but I know first hand the union stewards at Laird St are excellent, I know them personally.
Unite the Union has been very successful in achieving a decent pay deal this time round so there will not be any calamities again like 18 months ago. As enthusiasts we need to recognise TU officers are volunteers and are in no way, shape or form managers but will guide management now and then.
In the next 6 months or so Arriva will be totally different to what it is now and will be another animal.
The bonus to us , as enthusiasts/ anoraks/etc, is this is a dawn of a new era. A hell of a lot is about to happen.

And 2576 which is currently mid engine swap, seems cadets are the favourites now. 2501,2529,2543,2545,2
548,2553 here in service.

That will be a tight fit around some of the route in Neston Greenfields Estate and Breeze Hill

They can be awkward, but I would say the narrow winding road from Bull Hill to Ness is the worst part, speeding cars when you're nudging onto the wrong side of the road to avoid scraping walls and hedges on the bends. That section is the main reason streetlites were ordered in the first place I believe
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - bus401 - 24/05/2019 23:39
2578 back out and about today on 413/4.No sign of 4103 and 4106 lately.
