Confirmed that it’s been written off so won’t be used again.
Will any additional vehicles need to acquired to allow the MX10s at Runcorn to be replaced as there are quite a few of them?

I imagine they may stick around for a little while yet given Runcorn have routes which go out of the Merseyside boundary and the likes of the circulars.. There may well be a consideration with regards to keeping them due to book value come franchising if that ????

Yeah, the ones from Wythenshawe were only to see off 3023, 25 and 32 along with 3001, 19 and 20 which haven't left yet but there was never anything mentioned for the 10 plates, with 3202 gone plus 2790 off with a supposed electrics fault plus the fact that the 3 59 plates will go sooner or later, there's gonna need to be some covers down at Runcorn

Was wondering what had happened to 2790 guess an additional vehicle will remain until the electrical issues are resolved.
