St Helens definitely needs a fleet upgrade. The newest vehicles at Jackson Street are the Enviro 400s which are now just over 10 years old.

Another pic has surfaced of the 'METRO' Electroliner at the Wrightbus factory, and in the comments, it mentions 50 are on order, for Tranche 1 although whether for St Helens or Wirral isn't known. Funding for another 50 electric buses had been approved a while back so presumably it's these....

Are there any more updates for other areas? ie, Liverpool, Sefton or Halton.
I read online somewhere yesterday than Glider are starting trials in Liverpool next month to see if the buses are suitable
Not sure if true or which operator is running the trial
