Hopefully we will start seeing more Pulsars/full sized single deckers on the Marshalls Cross Road routes although can't fault Arriva today. A Pulsar on the 17 and a few Pulsars on 32/32A today. There has been days when everything along here has been Solo/Solo SR operated.

Solos always seem to be on the 32s lately I wish they weren't as Im personally not keen on them one bit (dont mind the three classic ones even if they are too small) plus even the SRs can get packed at times.

Most likely for driver familiarisation with it being the first bus that is ‘wheels forward’ at Speke since Merseyrider used Mercedes Benz Minibuses in the 1990’s

Yes indeed that will be the plan but 721 is now on Spekes fleet officially with the pulsar going to St Helens
Bit suprised we gained a St Helens sports branded one though rather than unbranded one
3018 here from Bootle and ready for service, presume this is in exchange for the Optare Solo
Should be a few more Solos due at Speke from here next few days ready for 3/3A tenders not sure which ones or what will replace them
Do we know how many Solo's are due to leave St Helens? Also are Southport going to take some for the Formby circulars? The 58 Plates would be ideal for those routes.
From what i've read on Facebook about 8 Solos will be leaving 721-725 and the three CX58s. The Formby circulars will use the smaller two Streetlites.
