I suspect it will be same as Bee Network, as in the vehicles won't show the operator (the fleetnumber being the only giveaway), none of the large amount of new vehicles in store ready for St Helens & Wirral carry operator names on them. The electrics at Gillmoss are still being used on...

Only Gillmoss routes that currently use single decks are the Maghull circular (i believe will be in the Sefton franchise), the 4 and the Kirkby circular.....

I'd expect so.....

Funny enough, I've noticed the Avanti 805/7 now have such a thing installed on the brackets holding the luggage racks up.....

Arriva do have 33 Ultroliners on order for Rhyl currently, for the 11 & 12 (in fact would likely replace all existing deckers)

One of the St Helens ones (4599) has been sighted after refurbishment carrying Northumbria legal lettering, and fleetnumber 7402..................however B9TL 7402 is also there for refurb, so it seems a mistake has been made and 4599 is likely to be off to Speke in 3 weeks along with most, if...

Aintree has a few school runs with Merchant Taylors in Crosby, not sure on any on the Wirral though....

HTL have got a load of ex Stagecoach London E400H's, ranging from 61 to 64 plate, most being 14 plate ex Plumstead examples.....22 known of so far which are listed below (Stagecoach numbers shown) 12132 LX61DFJ 12135 LX61DFN 12281 SN14TWZ 12282 SN14TXA 12284 SN14TXC 12285 SN14TXD...

Don't think the 11 has ever served Paignton, only goes as far as Torquay, and only really does a slight detour through Watcombe on it way into Torquay through St Marychurch & Babbacombe. The bit from Shaldon towards Torquay is spectacular along the coast, you can even spot the Isle of Portland...

The E200MMC's are TfGM owned aren't they??? A few have transferred between operators before like a few Metroline ones to GNW.....

I'm told there should be nothing older than 12 plate in the Arriva NW/Merseyside fleet by the end of the year. 1786119818 Not sure if this has been posted before, but it lists 6 Lots and the winners of those contracts to supply buses...I'm assuming these are all for tranche 2 (Liverpool...

The 11 between Dawlish Warren and Torquay is quite spectacular on it's coastal sections, especially after the climb above Shaldon. Did it back in May, and one of Stagecoach Torquay's E400EV's was the bus I went on, although single deckers do work it too.....

It was on the down fast in Crewe station at 0530 this morning, having been there a couple of hours, did have a 66 attached to the front due to a poorly 92......

30659 used 2 days ago, and 30660 still in use according to bustimes..... https://bustimes.org/operators/bee-network-bndb/vehicles

10817/20-7 all seem to be out of use now, none have tracked since 1/8, with most last used in the days before, so perhaps these are about to leave for East Mids (assuming that's where they are off to....)
