Thanks for that, I wasn't sure as I know Chester had a 52 plate a week or so ago, wasn't sure if the older tridents which arrived over the last few days were replacements

17491 was out on schools at birkenhead this morning, presumably had some minor damage repaired in paint shop. Unsure if it's staying or how long for.
17591 has been here since November 2014 and was only used once when it broke down. Took over a year to fix and now Its awaiting MOT prep.

Both points already been covered, See post 4679 for the latter point
I would expect this contract for the double deckers to operate until at least the end of the summer term in July , at which point a new contract will then have been set in motion for the 2016/7 school year.
