I'm not sure all I know is I saw it and 3011 is still here also on the 7

My apologies it was 3131 I saw on the 7 and not 3126.

Ex Wythenshawe Pulsar 3128 and 3131 currently on loan at Green Lane, they are due to go to Southport.

Also due are 4x Southport Pulsars (3012/3013/3014/3015) for special events at Green Lane.

What special event are those 4 pulsars needed for?

Been informed that 4703/4 are currently here on loan covering for Click Sprinters that are due to go in for maintenance.

They are just for spares cover not for any specific maintenance reason. 1039 is currently off the road so with zero spare Clicks, double deckers have been used on Clatterbridge and 201, 4703 and 4704 will be at depot as spares cover rather than sat unused at Runcorn.

I’ve heard they may also wander onto the 898/899 too if needed.

The 2 Mellor Sprinters 4703 and 4704 are due to move to Ware depot in Southern Counties.

However 2 Sprinters are now due to be moved here permanently for use on 201 service and Clatterbridge. As the Click Speke service is closing in April a replacement 211 service will commence. The Click sprinters will be withdrawn in the coming weeks.

Pulsar 3015 has transferred off loan from Speke to Green Lane to make up the batch of 4 special events cover buses.

These Pulsars are not intended to remain long term as they will be replaced with 4 Deckers.

Out of curiousity, what 'special event' are they meant to be covering?

It seems Arriva have got the contract to operate LFC shuttle buses, maybe that’s part of the special events
