Definitely on the 17 I had a ride on board lovely turn of speed an rather comfortable seats there should be a picture below
Like the fact that ollys get put on match day workings. The tridents don't have as much seating space, plus it's very unlikely that wheelchair users will want to go on the bus to anfield on a match day.
I was on that the other day on the 82 to LSP.
It can't be on one without being on the other!
Also, given that 24178 (I think - or was it 179?) recently went on loan to Chorley, partly for route trials, I wouldn't be surprised if its use at Preston is also for trials, rather than brakedown cover.
At a time when Merseyrail aren't operating to Southport, it's not really the time to have a shocking single deck allocation to that route, which is busy at the best of times between Liverpool - Southport.
