Arriva Merseyside 'Merseyside PTE' 4590 - SL64 JDO
And so here it is! Four hours ago, I returned from my long-awaited return to the city of Liverpool and the county of Merseyside, inspired to come back to the city having completely blown my bus spotting adventures with my then-new, then-poorly-optimised camera. And nearly two years on, am I really glad I got that new camera! Even though I didn't get the BYD E200EVs due to Sunday services and busy schedules on the Monday, ultimately, I am very happy with what I have got from the overnighter to Liverpool.
Here's the bus I really, really wanted to get in the first place - and almost as soon as I stepped off the bus, it was there outside the hotel. Taken a few hours later at Liverpool ONE Bus Station, Arriva Merseyside's 4590, a 2014 ADL Enviro 400, is seen here about to turn around to begin a 75 working to Halewood, wearing a special heritage livery commemorating 50 years since the formation of Merseyside PTE. Representing the long gone council operator now succeeded by Arriva following their purchase of MTL Trust Holdings in 2000, this wears the new 'Journey Mark' logo on the nearside and the old 'Merseyside Transport' logo on the offside.
