Short visit to New Brighton Promanard

Today I took a short trip down to New Brighton which is my home town, I've lived here now for over a decade its change loads since i first moved here from it just being a place for buses to rest its now a place for people to actually walk around go the shops or even have a nice Ice Cream.

Today my aim was to see if any different buses were around but not really much apart from on my way back home I saw this VDL SB200 Wright Pulsar in Arriva Interurban body work I believe this is a transfer from another depot in Liverpool to Birkenhead's Laird Street depot for use on a number of service's but mainly the 410 New Brighton - Claterbridge/Woodside its registered CX58 EZW and has a fleet number of 2909
