Possibly might be a replacement for the Commanders that have transferred to Derby, 3047 appears to be at Runcorn as well.
It's a shame the full 3047-61 batch couldn't have been kept at Green Lane with 3077/8 transferring instead but there we go

3047/8 are indeed 2597/8's replacements

Don't know, some of the 305*'s aren't the best. One ot two have been vibrating heaps for a number of years.

I agree there's a couple which aren't great but that's the case with many big batches of buses. I'd still rather have those than any of the other batches of Pulsars which Green Lane has had over the years but there we go

Yes I agree with you actually.
3047 & 3048 are both now in Runcorn depot and are working on 79c today

This has already been reported above.

Decker’s scheduled for April, but might still change yet.

I know this post was from over 6 weeks ago. I just wonder whether double-deckers are still coming to Runcorn, and which type they would be?

Reported to be 45**/46** Enviro 400s, but all gone quiet once again.

Out of fleet here is 2574 (Birkenhead), 2597/98 (Derby), 2601 (Ukraine) and 2643 (Withdrawn for Scrap)
Into fleet is 3047/48, 3089 and I believe 3052 is due here.

Further changes due to take place in a few weeks.
