The usual Bustimes caution, but 37495 (YX19OSC) has apparently arrived at Jackson Street in Metro livery. This vehicle was displaced when Cumbernauld depot was closed in April, and apparently worked a single day in Lancaster in July. It was allegedly working 32/32A yesterday, but isn't out today.

It would make sense to bring in some of these, especially since they have 38 seats.

I do think 11.8m MMCs should have been ordered for more seats 30 is less than the Optares had.

Someone on another forum has posted this as to what tickets are valid on Cross Boundary routes, Merseytravel tickets are valid throughout the route if the route is operated under Metro network, but only valid on Merseyside if it's operated by Bee Network, Arriva ecc.

Good to get some clarity.
No mention of the X3, but it seems reasonable to assume that Merseytravel tickets are valid along the whole route.

It is definitely the case as this image of it has appeared on Flickrhttps://www.flickr.com/photos/dmc1947/55514247493/in/photolist-2szB2Ga-2s5Vnqb-2rzYqNL-2rxPfUX-2rKkaEr-2riGJZf-2rtJSKT-2qTkv7P-2qX1UNu-2qRng7x-2qvWuiV-2qz6bKk-2qD3vnR-2pHMunA-2pHLqVk-2pHNHYD-2pBmuy1-2oWNTic-2oQThu2-2oQGTZ1-2oQytap-2oQjBPN-2oJCNFj-2oCYvXT-2oBafSq-2oykSNe-2pFYp9F-2nCJQJP-2nCPLit-2ovQ1U4-2ose2KM-2mZuwxj-2owQvJA-2owVueK-2mQgxpv-2mdPVF1-2nxViPn-2mczF35-2kzRkx1-2jVGuRc-2k4xnqX-2ji1kWb-2hRb8Rs-2ixyQgs-2pP6uEf-2hxCyaN-2gX3ssD-2gXBVUg-2pP5ZPZ-2gWipjE

I think there are two of them, back of my mind seeing a photo of Two at Rock Ferry freshly painted
