On a slightly different theme I previously posted that Winsford would be getting Pulsars for the 84 shorts.
This has now changed to Commanders from Whythenshawe. The three Geminis for the 84 longs are still coming in December apparently.
Routemaster have not released their timetable for the 84 longs yet so I am unsure as to what frequency they are doing and whether it is only in the off peak or all day.
So be darts from Routemaster buses on the C84 and gemini's on the Arriva long 84
Did not realise wythenshaw has any commanders tbh thought they had cadets, pulsars and Enviro300's
They have the CX07 Commanders that were at Bolton, apart from the 2 at Southport.

Heard a rumour that Routemaster are aquiring ex London DB250 Wright Geminis for the 84.
We have not seen a timetable or a start date from them yet however.

Starts on the 27th of this month
Commander 2625 has arrived at Winsford. Expecting the 3 Geminis from Speke to arrive middle of next week.
Upcoming fleet changes are as follows
2625 and 2626 have arrived with I believe 2623 to follow.
3 DB300 Wright Geminis coming from Speke on Sunday 20/12/15 possibly 4476 - 4478 tbc.
Buses removed from fleet are 2267, 2272, 2447.
Buses to be removed are 2498, 2499, 2500, 2501, 2502, 2503, 2515, 2516, 4216.
The Wright Geminis are to be allocated to the 84 Chesters with the Commanders going on to the 84 shorts.
4215 will probably be a substitute for the other Geminis. This is the current plan but now doubt that the b7's will also feature as substitutes.
Could be an interesting time coming up with Routemaster going on the route also along with D&G on the shorts.
Cadets could possibly be for st helens as got told they are due some as 2580 is suppose to be moving on.
By removed from the fleet do you mean from Winsford or gone altogether?

Don't know if they are being transferred or withdrawn, just know we are losing them.
